a sat phone on the backs of all airline seats back when-mostly for long domestic or international flights. It would be like grabbing your home phone from this time frame. He grabbed the phone and went into a pantry.

Not doubting but I wonder how he knew they were headed East if he was in a tall pantry with a door?

I think one of the hijackers probably had a suicide vestbomb on and he blew them up and they crashed?

No. They charged the cockpit and nearly gained access.

This. At that time many planes had phones in every headrest where the video displays are now. They even had a swipe style card reader in the handset so you could pay your $9 per minute.
