I didn’t want him to feel like it was totally hopeless.”Īs shown in documents uploaded by the 9/11 Document Archive on Scribd - run by Kevin Fenton, the author of ' Disconnecting the Dots: How 9/11 Was Allowed to Happen,' - the transcripts referenced include Jefferson’s own recollections, and recordings of conversations between Jefferson and Lisa Beamer, Todd’s widow. She told CBS News that she made a conscious decision not to tell Beamer about the World Trade Center: “I wanted him to have hope, I wanted him to think he still had a chance.

We learned that while elements of this “transcript” were pulled from Jefferson’s account of the conversation, testimonials from the time, and other sources, there was no recorded version of the full conversation. Many shared the alleged transcript of that call from an article on Eternity News, which appears to be a Christian-focused website, claiming it was the full conversation between the two of them. The passenger, Beamer, who was part of a group trying to take the plane back from the hijackers, called GTE, the company that provided the phone service on United Airlines flights. An article began circulating that purported to be the full transcript of a call between a Todd Beamer, a passenger on that flight, and a phone operator. On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, many remembered the heroic efforts of the passengers to prevent the hijacking of United Airlines Flight 93, which was taken over by al-Qaida and ended up crashing in an empty field in Pennsylvania. There was no full tape of their call, as Jefferson did not record it. Elements of the alleged transcript of the call between Beamer and Jefferson are pulled from Jefferson’s own account of what they spoke about and are accurate in that respect, but other portions of the transcript are incorrect.
