 Loose Change - Internet Detectives
Next, Avery states that Flight 93 was the only flight where the cockpit voice recorder was recovered, which contradicts his earlier claims of Flight 77's CVR being recovered, and at least one CVR being recovered from the World Trade Center, as well as his theory that Flight 93 didn't crash at all.
Flight 93 was the fourth commercial jetliner hijacked by Islamic militants affiliated with al Qaeda on September 11, about half an hour after the second plane struck the second World Trade Center tower, and only minutes before a third plane struck the Pentagon.
Avery says passengers on an American Airlines flight were able to send and receive calls on their cell phones in-flight, as a cell station had been installed in the plane, and cites this USA Today article.

 Rant by Rob Meyer: Never forget
Flight 587 had sat overnight before the crash and apparently it wouldn't be too hard to sabatoge the thrust reverser (much easier than making a fin fall off).
The take-off is the most sensitive time in any flight: problems that would only be concerning if they happened in mid-air can become irrevocably catastrophic if they occur during take-off.
But this flight went to hell in a hurry, and the odd bank/yaw/pitch readings plus the sheared off rudder/stabilizer would all be feasible (even likely) in some sort of massive failure of the hydraulic systems.
