MANY WHO WERE ORIGINALLY BOOKED ON FLIGHT 93 MAY NOT HAVE BEEN QUESTIONED BY THE FBI AFTER 9/11
While the FBI questioned the individuals described above who'd had reservations for Flight 93 but missed the flight, whether it also interviewed the individuals described below is unstated.
Catherine Patterson who worked for McCann New York, a leading advertising agency, was reportedly booked on Flight 93, "but she developed strep throat and had to cancel." [204]
Bernard Whalen, a senior manager in the financial services industry, was apparently originally booked on Flight 93 but changed his plans and flew on another plane on September 11. He has written that on September 11, his wife thought "that I was dead because she thought I was on a United flight when I had changed my itinerary and landed safely on a flight in Pittsburgh, instead of crashing near it in Shanksville, Pennsylvania." [205]
Michael Prinz zu Salm-Salm, founder and managing partner of Salm-Salm & Partner, an investment and real estate consulting company, was originally booked on Flight 93, but changed his plans and flew to Chicago on September 11. He was in New York on September 10 attending the German Wine Information Bureau's annual vintage tasting of German wines. He originally intended to go to San Francisco on September 11 to attend a similar event on September 13, and his secretary had booked him on Flight 93 to get there. However, a convention of the Christian Democratic Union party, of which he was the chairman in his district, was being held in his home town on September 15 and he needed to attend this. Prinz zu Salm-Salm felt it would be running things too close if he attended the event in San Francisco and then had to make his way back to Germany for the convention afterward. Therefore, in mid-August, he asked his secretary to change his schedule. Instead of flying to San Francisco, he would go to Chicago to visit some customers on September 11. He has said that he only learned he had originally been booked on Flight 93 when he arrived back in Germany after 9/11. [206]
Curtis Smolar and his wife Rebecca Eisenberg, a pair of San Francisco lawyers, were supposed to be on Flight 93 but switched to a flight on September 10. The couple had been staying with Smolar's father, who had recently been diagnosed with cancer, and planned to travel home to San Francisco on Flight 93. But Smolar's father insisted that they fly home a day early. "I want you guys to go back and live your lives," he told them. [207]
Frank Robertazzi, vice president of worldwide distribution sales at test and measurement firm Agilent Technologies Inc., was scheduled to travel on Flight 93 because he had to attend a meeting at his company's headquarters in San Francisco, but at the last minute he switched to a later flight. The reason, he said, was that his "five-year-old daughter was just starting kindergarten and he was having so much fun with her, he made a decision to take another flight." He booked himself on a 9:30 a.m. flight so he could have breakfast with his daughter and take her to kindergarten, and thereby avoided being on Flight 93. [208]
Alan Brigish, an online publishing entrepreneur and documentary photographer, was booked on Flight 93 for a business trip. But on September 10, he has recalled, "I changed my reservation to American Airlines for no reason other than I had a mileage plan with American." [209]
Daniel Belardinelli, a lawyer and artist, was scheduled to be on Flight 93 along with his uncle, so they could visit Yosemite National Park in California. However, Belardinelli has said that a week before 9/11, "Something came up that I just could not juggle." He therefore had to back out of the trip. His uncle, William Cashman, unfortunately died on Flight 93. [210]
Heather Ross Ogle was booked on Flight 93 but overslept and missed the plane. Ogle, a staff physician at Stanford Hospital, had gone to the East Coast to attend a friend's wedding on September 9, and then went to stay with her parents just outside New York. She was meant to travel home on Flight 93 but stayed up late on the night of September 10, and so her father was unable to get her out of bed the following morning to go to the airport. When he tried to get her up, she said, "The heck with it, I'm not going to take that flight." [211]
Marge Kranzfelder had gone to the East Coast on business and was scheduled to travel home to California on Flight 93. But, for unspecified reasons, she missed the flight and was at her hotel near Newark Airport when the 9/11 attacks occurred. [212]
Donald Rubbo, a pioneer in mind-body medicine, was supposed to be on Flight 93 but switched to an earlier flight. Rubbo went to New York in early September 2001 to be with his mother while she underwent surgery. "A few days later," he wrote, "she was well enough ... that I felt confident about my mother's health." He therefore asked his wife to arrange for him to fly home earlier than planned. She changed his ticket and he consequently flew back to San Francisco on September 8 instead of September 11. [213]
Leah Stone, a professional musician and vocal coach, appears to have been briefly booked on Flight 93 before switching to another flight. Stone had made a late decision to visit New York to see the Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration concert. She used her father's air miles when she was booking her flights and her father had told her to use his United Airlines air miles. But, "As I was in the process of booking my flight with United Flight 93" to bring her home from the East Coast, she has written, "my father was inspired to tell me to change my ticket and use his Continental [Airlines air] miles instead." On September 11, when Stone called members of her family, she found they were "an emotional wreck, unaware if I was alive or on a hijacked flight." [214]
Mikey Koffman, who works in the fashion industry, had a ticket for Flight 93. However, when she arrived at Newark Airport on September 11 along with her partner, Raquel Castaneda, she reportedly "discovered that Raquel could not get on because the flight was oversold." (However, only 20 percent of the seats on Flight 93 were supposedly taken.) Koffman and Castaneda therefore avoided taking the doomed flight. But Koffman has said she "lost $30,000 of samples," which were loaded onto Flight 93, "because my bags had already been checked in." [215]
Brian Backus had gone to New York to attend a business conference and was originally scheduled to travel back to San Francisco on Flight 93. However, he has written, he had "rescheduled a few days before [September 11] so I could go to a dinner party and not have to get up too early." [216]
John Grieves, a top executive at the multinational consumer goods company Unilever, was supposed to be on Flight 93, but changed his plans at the last minute. The hijacked plane, Grieves has said, "was my flight, which I canceled to be at a [school] parents' evening." [217]
Jiri Kulik, who worked in marketing, was scheduled to be on Flight 93, but changed his booking to another flight about five days before 9/11. Kulik regularly flew from Newark to San Francisco because his company's offices were in New Jersey and he was working with a company in San Francisco at that time. But, Kulik has written, "A company from Bethesda, Maryland, gave me [a] better offer and I decided to go with them, and for that reason I changed my flight." Therefore, instead of taking Flight 93, he went to visit that company, E-centives, on September 11. [218]
Nelly Reifler, a novelist and short story writer, needed to book a flight to California after she learned, on September 9, that a friend in Oakland had been murdered. She wanted to join other friends in California to mourn with them. Because a hurricane was predicted for September 10, Reifler decided she would fly out on September 11 and consequently made a reservation on Flight 93. She then called a friend in San Francisco who would be collecting her from the airport. Reifler has written that her friend "reminded me that there was an airport in Oakland." Reifler "could tell that it would be better for her if I landed there." She found there was a cheap JetBlue Airways flight going to Oakland, but when she called the airline, she was told no seats were available. But Reifler "called the JetBlue toll-free number over and over" until, at around 7:00 p.m. on September 10, "a family of three let go of their seats on an early morning flight to Oakland" on September 11. Reifler took one of the seats and was then able to cancel her reservation on Flight 93. [219]
Brian Harrington, who worked in sports marketing, was scheduled to be on Flight 93 in order to go and meet with a client. But on September 7, the client called and canceled the meeting, and so Harrington avoided being on the hijacked plane. [220]
Sylvana Joseph was booked on Flight 93 as she had to go to the West Coast to attend a business conference. But she decided to go and see some old friends in New Orleans before she headed to the conference, and consequently, a few days before September 11, switched to another flight. [221]
James Canton, a renowned futurist and business adviser, was in New York in the days before 9/11 to speak to a group of CEOs, and had a reservation to fly home to San Francisco on Flight 93. But Canton has written that he "decided at the last minute to leave early." He therefore changed his reservation and flew home on September 10. [222] Canton runs the Institute for Global Futures, a think tank that advises government leaders and many Fortune 1000 companies about the key trends that will shape the future. [223]
Dave Mandelkern, executive vice president and chief technology officer of Docent, a company that provided e-learning software, has written that his "colleague"--who he did not name--"had a boarding pass for United Flight 93 with his name on it." But the colleague missed the doomed flight because Mandelkern "had persuaded him to take a later flight" so he could attend a business meeting in Manhattan, along with Mandelkern, on the morning of September 11. [224]
John Talley flew to the East Coast on September 9 to begin testing oil skimmers for the Navy at a facility in New Jersey and was originally scheduled to return to California on September 14. But after he finished work on September 10, he decided to fly home early because of ill health. He therefore made a reservation on Flight 93 so he could go home the following morning. But Talley has written that late on the night of September 10, "My colleague called me and convinced me to cancel my flight and work one more day." [225]
Elaine Taylor, a travel agent in Morristown, New Jersey, was scheduled to be on Flight 93. But, for unspecified reasons, she "changed her plans and rescheduled the trip to September 12." [226]
Evelyn Brooks, a ticket sales agent for United Airlines in Mexico City, spent the weekend before 9/11 in New York and had been booked on Flight 93. However, United Airlines requested that she return to Mexico a day earlier than planned. This meant she had to fly out of Newark on September 10 instead of September 11. [227]
Cholene Espinoza, a pilot with United Airlines who lived in New York, was scheduled to be a passenger on Flight 93. She was set to pilot a plane out of San Francisco on September 12 and planned to take Flight 93 to get her to the city. But, she recalled, "A few days before September 11 the crew desk called me and said, 'Your trip has been changed because you flew too much this week, so we'll just start you off in Chicago.'" It was therefore unnecessary for Espinoza to travel to San Francisco on Flight 93. [228]
Michael Jones, a chef in Carmel Valley, California, was in New York on September 10 for his brother's funeral and was scheduled to return to California the next day on Flight 93. But after the funeral, Jones brought the guests back to the hotel he was staying at, and then stayed up late and got "drunk on good Champagne and great Calvados." As a result, he overslept and missed Flight 93 the following morning. [229]
Thomas Soohoo from New York was apparently scheduled to be on Flight 93 but arrived at Newark Airport early, and so he took United Airlines Flight 81--which also went to San Francisco--instead. He stated that he would have been on Flight 93 if he hadn't made "some last-minute chance decisions." A man called Anthony Soohoo, who is presumably Thomas Soohoo's brother, has confirmed that Thomas Soohoo was supposed to have been on Flight 93. He wrote on Twitter that his brother "was about to board Flight 93, but changed his plans at the airport." Flight 81, which took off at 7:00 a.m., was the flight immediately before Flight 93, according to Thomas Soohoo. "Luck played a major role in my fate," he commented. "I got to the gate at 6:50 a.m. I was the last passenger to board and just minutes away from having the plane leave without me." "I would have been on Flight 93 for sure if I had taken any longer to get to the airport," he added. Curiously, Thomas Soohoo stated: "There were numberous stories, including my own, of folks who ended up on the 7 a.m. flight [i.e. Flight 81] by chance. There were so many of us who would have been on that ill-fated flight [i.e. Flight 93] if we hadn't made some last-minute chance decisions." [230]
Donna Garton appears to have been one of the people who also ended up on Flight 81 "by chance." Garton, a development officer at Stanford University, had gone to the East Coast to help her daughter, who was starting university, and had a ticket for Flight 93 for her journey back to California. But she had trouble sleeping on the night of September 10 and so she headed to the airport early the next morning. At the check-in counter, Garton was told there were seats available on a flight leaving at 7:00 a.m., an hour earlier than Flight 93 was scheduled to depart. She reportedly "knew the change wasn't going to save her any time, because she was still going to have to sit in San Francisco and wait for the same flight to Sacramento." She "considered staying in Newark and having a relaxed breakfast before getting on Flight 93." But according to her husband, Michael, "For some reason, she decided to come a little bit closer to home" and accepted a seat on the earlier flight. [231]
A couple of individuals who narrowly avoided taking Flight 93 have posted descriptions of their experiences at the September 11 Digital Archive website. Eric Clamage had a ticket for Flight 93. However, on September 7, his boss called and asked if he could get to California to be at work a day earlier than planned. Clamage could, and so he flew out from Newark on September 10 instead of September 11. [232] Michelle Mahler from Oakland, California, flew out on September 1 for a vacation. She initially spent a week with her family in Pennsylvania. She had made plans to fly on to Washington, DC, on September 7 for a few days of sightseeing and was scheduled to return to California four days later on Flight 93. But while she was in Pennsylvania, she had a major argument over the phone with her husband about her being away for so long. "Instead of being the hard-headed bitch I normally can be when he tries to tell me what to do," Mahler has written, "I attempted to keep the peace and changed my return flight to the 7th from Pittsburgh, and skipped going to Washington altogether." This meant she avoided taking Flight 93 on September 11. [233]
Several individuals have described how relatives of theirs narrowly avoided being passengers on Flight 93.
Anne Stub Civitano recalled that her husband, Tony, had gone from California to New York for a business trip and was originally scheduled to travel home on Flight 93. Tony, however, avoided the doomed flight because he "returned a day early." [234]
Michelle Dennedy, a lawyer working for Sun Microsystems at the time of the 9/11 attacks, recalled how her mother narrowly avoided being on Flight 93. Dennedy had a baby shortly before September 11. "I had also booked my mom who lives in Princeton, New Jersey, on Flight 93 to come out and help us with the new baby," she has written. The baby, though, had been born later than expected, and so Dennedy phoned her mother and said, "You know, don't come on the Tuesday, Mom; why don't you come on the Friday, and don't come on September 11." Dennedy's mother therefore postponed her trip and missed Flight 93. [235]
Shevaughn Cash recalled that her mother, too, "was supposed to be on Flight 93," in order to see her husband in California. But Cash's mother "wanted to stay an extra day in Newark" and so she decided not to fly on September 11. [236]
Colson Andrews wrote that his father "had a ticket for, and was scheduled to board, Flight 93." "It was only because of the cancelation of a meeting that he was to have had that day in San Francisco," Andrews continued, "that he was able to miss that flight." [237]
Thomas McGann wrote that on September 11, his brother, Kevin, "was to travel from Newark International to San Francisco." After being unable to contact Kevin for hours, the McGann family finally "received a call that he had missed his flight (93) and had landed safely in Detroit." "God had truly answered our prayers," Thomas McGann commented. [238]
Kelly-Ann Speers from Quebec, Canada, has written that her younger brother, a businessman, was supposed to be on Flight 93 but canceled his reservation on the night of September 10. He had done so, he said, because "he just had a feeling." [239]
Jeannette Sacman wrote that her sister had been in New Jersey on business at the time of the 9/11 attacks and was "supposed to be on Flight 93." But, according to Sacman, "Her project was delayed and she had to spend an extra day or two in New Jersey." [240]
Juliana Mathews wrote that on September 11, her sister, who had been "working a trade show in New York City," was "scheduled to return on Flight 93." But fortunately, "Some blessed delay caused her to change to a later flight." [241]
An unnamed officer in the U.S. Army was originally scheduled to be on Flight 93. But according to his uncle, Thomas Bucher, "A miracle happened: he had to change his flight because he had to attend a meeting." [242]
PILOTS AND FLIGHT ATTENDANTS AVOIDED WORKING FLIGHT 93 DUE TO CHANGES IN THEIR PLANS
Numerous individuals who were originally scheduled to be crew members on Flight 93 changed their plans and consequently avoided being on the hijacked plane.
Edward Sarkisian, a captain with United Airlines, was reportedly going to be a pilot on Flight 93. But "at the last minute" he decided to take a later flight, "so he could first drop his son at school" on September 11. [243]
Colleen Kerins said her uncle was also scheduled to be a pilot on Flight 93, but he got a phone call on the night of September 10, asking him to switch to another flight. [244]
Flight attendant Richard Harris was scheduled to work Flight 93, but, for unspecified reasons, he changed his schedule to work another flight. [245]
Flight attendant Diane McCusker was scheduled to work Flight 93, but she had been tired after a family trip and asked to take the day of September 11 off. Another flight attendant therefore took her place on Flight 93. [246]
Kim Stroka had been assigned to be a flight attendant on Flight 93. On September 6, though, she requested that she be given September 11 off because her ex-husband was working that day and so she needed to be able to collect her daughter from school. Stroka's request was granted and she therefore avoided being on the hijacked flight. [247]
Tina Mosier was scheduled to be a flight attendant on Flight 93, but a friend had encouraged her to take a couple of days off work after she learned that a dog she had rescued and nursed back to health six months earlier had died. Mosier therefore called in sick and missed Flight 93. [248]
And Sina Lewis, another flight attendant who was scheduled to work Flight 93, missed the flight because she wanted a couple of days off work so she could go shopping with her mother. She had therefore persuaded her roommate to switch flights with her. [249]
As previously mentioned, it is likely there were other passengers and crew members who were originally scheduled to be on the flights hijacked on September 11 but missed the planes beyond those whose accounts are described above. Their accounts are either unreported or I simply have not discovered them. But the number of passengers and crew members whose accounts are described in this article is still so high as to appear very suspicious. The need for this matter to be properly investigated is therefore already obvious.
