RE: Phone calls from aircraft hijacked on 9/11 as per Concordance

The following data was derived from the complete set of FBI 302 files derived from a
search using the following terms:

SEARCH TERMS:

• phone call AND flight AND 175/77/93

• phone AND call AND flight AND 175/77/93
• cell phone AND flight AND 175/77/93
• cell AND call AND flight AND 175/77/93

* Each flight number listed in the last field was checked independently
** For some odd reason inputting 11 in the flight number field would search and return
175 instead of 11. Need to check with FBI on this.

DATA POINTS:

Eight data points for each phone call:

A. From whom to whom

B. Type of call: cell or airphone
C. conversation or message
D. Time and duration of call
E. What information was shared
F. was the call tape recorded
