<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Mark Bingham]] was one of the passengers on Flight 93. On seeing the hijacking he called his mother, [[Alice Hoglan]] (erroneously called "Hoaglan" here), who described what happened:<br />
<br />
{{divbox|amber||...one relative, Alice Hoaglan -- whose son Mark Bingham called her from one of the flights -- recounted for reporters her final call from her son.<br><br><br />
<br />
"'Mom, this is Mark Bingham. I just want to tell you that I love you. I am on a flight from Newark to San Francisco. There are three guys on board who have taken over the plane and they say they have a bomb. You believe me don't you, Mom? I'm calling you from the air phone.' And then we were disconnected," Hoaglan said, her voice breaking.<br>http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Northeast/06/04/911.calls/index.html}}<br />
<br />
The idea of introducing yourself by your full name to your own mother has been used as an indication that this wasn't [[Bingham]] calling after all. Professor [[James Fetzer]] says:<br />
<br />
<div class="boilerplate metadata" id="" style="{{divstyleamber}}"><center><b></b></center>...Mark Bingham, a passenger on Flight 93, is supposed to have called his mother and said, 'Hi, Mom, this is Mark Bingham!' His mother confirmed it was his voice, but does anyone seriously believe that Mark Bingham would have used his last name in identifying himself to his mother?<br>Professor James H. Fetzer<br>http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/05/prweb391617.htm</div><br><br />
<br />
[[David Ray Griffin]] concurs:<br />
<br />
<div class="boilerplate metadata" id="" style="{{divstyleamber}}"><center><b></b></center>In addition to the question of the feasibility of cellphone calls from UA 93, the content of some of the messages makes their authenticity seem highly improbable. In the most notorious case, a man claiming to be Mark Bingham called Bingham’s mother. When she answered, he said: “Mom? This is Mark Bingham.” Have any of us, even in the most stressful situation, identified ourselves to our own mothers by giving our last name?<br>http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=2006091418303369</div><br><br />
<br />
Neither takes the time to recount the reaction of [[Bingham]]'s own mother, though. Perhaps because she doesn't see this as suspicious at all. [[Hoglan]] told the BBC it just meant he was "a little rattled":<br />
<br />
{{divbox|amber||I took the phone and I heard my son's voice and he said to me, "Mom, this is Mark Bingham." I knew from that he was trying to maintain composure, but I could tell he was a little rattled because he was giving me his first and last names. He said, "I want to let you know that I love you. I'm on a flight from Newark to San Francisco, and there are three guys on board who have taken over the plane and they say they have a bomb."<br>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/events/newsnight/1726647.stm}}<br />
<br />
And in “The Flight That Fought Back”, a Discovery Channel documentary, we heard that he would sometimes introduce himself with his full name:<br />
<br />
{{divbox|amber||Hoglan: I was staying with my brother Vaughan on the morning of September 11th, and, uh, the phone rang.<br><br />
<br />
Bingham (reconstruction): Mom... Mom, this is Mark Bingham.<br><br />
<br />
Hoglan: Once in a while he would say that. He would call up, and he was, he was a young businessman, and used to, used to introduce himself on phone as Mark Bingham, and he was trying to be, uh, strong, and level-headed, and, and strictly business. "Mom, this is Mark Bingham".<br>{{#ev:youtube|vVdTAqLrmho|640}}<br>}}<br />
<br />
No mystery here according to [[Bingham]]’s mother, then, who’s surely better placed to address this issue than anyone else. And now, if these phone calls were faked, it suggests the faker had to know [[Mark Bingham]] sometimes spoke in this way: how likely is that?</div>Mike
