#TODD BEAMER WIFE PATCH#

It is implausible that Beamer would have later decided not to call his wife, for three reasons:ДЄccording to JeffersonвЂ™s account, Beamer was convinced he was going to die, yet was passing up a last chance to talk to his wife.

SheвЂ™s expecting our third child in January, and if I donвЂ™t have to upset her with any bad news, then IвЂ™d rather not.вЂќ This explanation is inconsistent with the FBI report that he had first tried to reach his residence at 9:43:48 AM.

Jefferson asked him, вЂњWould you like me to try to reach your wife and patch her call through?вЂќ He replied: вЂњNo, no. The man self-identified as Todd Beamer talked to GTE operators Johnson and Jefferson for approximately 15 minutes rather than talking to his wife, Lisa Beamer. According to Lisa BeamerвЂ™s 2002 book, Jefferson herself was amazed, saying that вЂњit was a miracle that ToddвЂ™s call hadnвЂ™t been disconnected.вЂќ As to why Jefferson considered it a miracle: вЂњBecause of the enormous number of calls that day, the GTE systems overloaded and lines were being disconnected all around her вЂ¦ She kept thinking, This call is going to get dropped!вЂќ It is very unlikely that a passenger on UAВ 93 could have been able to talk to Jefferson continuously for 13 minutes. There are eight reasons to doubt the authenticity of the reported call to Lisa Jefferson from the man who identified himself as Todd Beamer. In 2002, the Washington Post wrote: вЂњEmbraced and promoted by President Bush as a patriotic battle cry,вЂќ the phrase вЂњLetвЂ™s RollвЂќ was also вЂњemblazoned on Air Force fighter planes, city firetrucks, school athletic jerseys, and countless T-shirts, baseball caps and souvenir buttons.вЂќ In November 2001, President Bush used вЂњLetвЂ™s RollвЂќ in a speech to call America to war to hunt down the terrorists. Beamer told the operator,вЂќ said the FBIвЂ™s summary of its interview with Jefferson, вЂњthat the plane had been hijacked and that he saw two hijackers with knives and someone else enter the cockpit.вЂќ This call lasted for 3,925 seconds (slightly over 65 minutes), although Beamer was on the phone talking to the two GTE representatives (Johnson and Jefferson) for only about 20 of those minutes. The telephone records show that Beamer initiated four telephone calls, only the fourth one of which was connected. Beamer continued talking to Jefferson, rather than having her transfer him to Lisa Beamer, because his wife was pregnant and he did not want to upset her. Д«eamer ended up talking to Jefferson because, having tried to make a credit card call to his wife, Lisa Beamer, his call was routed to a GTE (Verizon) customer-service operator named Phyllis Johnson, who then forwarded the call to Jefferson. This fact was made known by GTE supervisor Lisa Jefferson, with whom Beamer had a 13-minute conversation before the plane crashed, and was later included in The 9/11 Commission Report. He became the most celebrated of these heroes for saying, as a group of passengers were preparing to make their move, вЂњAre you guys ready? Okay, letвЂ™s roll.вЂќ Todd Beamer was one of the passengers on UAВ 93 who heroically prevented the hijackers from hitting their target in Washington D.C.
