Most probably because the passengers were fearing that they may not live to see the next day and thus will not be able to talk to their loved ones ever again.
Why else would they call them?

I don't know. But read my previous posts if you want to know who was involved in this.

From my experience, most Muslims do see the 9/11 as a bad thing ... a highly detestable thing, in fact.

On the contrary, he denied that claim.
Wikinews Wrote:One message includes bin Laden's denial of having anything to do with the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania.
"Following the latest explosions in the United States, some Americans are pointing the finger at me, but I deny that because I have not done it. The United States has always accused me of these incidents which have been caused by its enemies. Reiterating once again, I say that I have not done it, and the perpetrators have carried this out because of their own interest," said bin Laden on September 16, 2001, just five days after the attacks.
Bin Laden also states that he was living in Afghanistan at the time of the attacks and that "I have held talks with His Eminence Amir ol-Momenin [Taleban leader Mola Mohammad Omar Mojahed], who does not allow such acts to be carried out from Afghanistan's territory." Again on September 28, 2001 in an interview with Karachi Ummat, bin Laden denies any involvement with the attacks and further denied that al-Qaeda had anything to do with plotting and carrying out the attacks.

And the "confession" tape where Bin Laden said he was responsible for the September attack was admittedly fake as revealed by a former CIA official (see quote below) ...
Jeff Stein Wrote:The agency actually did make a video purporting to show Osama bin Laden and his cronies sitting around a campfire swigging bottles of liquor and savoring their conquests with boys, one of the former CIA officers recalled, chuckling at the memory. The actors were drawn from "some of us darker-skinned employees," he said.
Nice try boys and girls - but still no candy.

Quote:Osama Bin Laden Never Charged for 9/11 - Inside Job likely
By IBTimes Staff Reporter
Osama Bin Laden's death is being celebrated, and everyone seems to repeat the old conspiracy theory that he was indeed the mastermind behind the terror attacks of 9/11. But that was never proven, and there is not even evidence hinting at such a connection according to the FBI. It is very well possible that completely different organizations than al-Qaeda were responsible for the planning and execution of 9/11, and that the latter was merely one of the involved parties.
Osama Bin Laden was never formally charged, because the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation didn't deliver the necessary evidence to the Department of Justice, which would be the required path in this matter. Another explanation for the lack of criminal charges was brought forward by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld at the time, who said that the 911 attack was an act of war and not a law enforcement matter. But this mere redefining of the attack doesn't explain why no evidence would be needed to proof who was behind the attacks, and how it was accomplished. Just for comparison, the airplanes that attacked Pearl Harbor were clearly Japanese, and they didn't come from nowhere, but were launched from aircraft carriers within range.
If anyone is surprised by this fact, which one could be excused for as it is very rarely mentioned by your friendly television pundit, read for yourself what Rex Tom, FBI Director of Investigative Publicity, stated in 2006 about the FBI's position:
"The FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice then decides whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11."

But my question is then who did fly the planes, obviously people who weren't in it for profit because they died in the attacks.
The reason I was asking about what do you think happened to the passengers is because I don't know what conspiracy it is you believe in, are you one of those who believes there was no planes used, or that the planes were rockets or that the planes were remote controlled or what?
Also if the planes were being flown by pilots because of a government conspiracy what could the government have offered the pilots in exchange for killing themselves?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Knock it off, your tin foil hat conspiracy crap is on par with JFK, Big Foot and Crop Circles.
THE 19 HIJACKERS WERE RESPONSIBLE, BIN LADEN WAS RESPONSIBLE.

It's silly to think Bin Laden is a scapegoated victim here, doncha think? Even if he had zero prior knowledge, the chuckleheads were following his lead. He was all choked up afterwards too...the poor dear.
Please.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with your delusions.

Then that implies that the majority of the world who do not have the "Muslim delusion" would not be motivated to do so, unlike myself and other Muslims.
But, unfortunately for you, that doesn't match with the actual data.
Quote:On average, 46 percent said that al Qaeda was behind the attacks while 15 percent say the US government, seven percent Israel, and seven percent some other perpetrator. One in four said they do not know.
"Given the extraordinary impact the 9/11 attacks have had on world affairs, it is remarkable that seven years later there was no international consensus about who was behind them," comments Steven Kull, director of WorldPublicOpinion.org.

Again, this has nothing to do with your being delusion-prone.

Chas, what the fuck do your posts have to do with the topic? Why can't you discuss things on-topic - is it somehow "below you"?
We all know that truthers are idiots - mainly because they keep repeating lies and distortions of the truth as facts.
