A moment later, the phone rang again. PHIPPS again answered the phone and heard a male voice (later determined to be MARK BINGHAM) say, "Get Kathy or Alice quickly!" PHIPPS asked the caller, "Is this Lee?" The caller responded, "No. Get Kathy or Alice quickly." No other information was provided to PHIPPS.

She said, "Alice, come talk to Mark. He's been hijacked," or words to that effect. When ALICE HOGLAN got on the phone, her son said, "Mom, this is MARK BINGHAM" (he stated both his first and last names) followed by, "I want to let you know I love you. I love you all." ALICE HOGLAN told her son that she loved him too. BINGHAM then said, "I'm on a flight from Newark to San Francisco and there are three guys who have taken over the plane, and they say they have a bomb. I'm calling you from the air phone." ALICE HOGLAN then asked, "Who are they Mark?" BINGHAM was distracted and did not answer. ALICE HOGLAN was not sure if her son had heard the question. There was an interruption for approximately five seconds. BINGHAM then stated to his mother, "You've got to believe me. It's true." ALICE HOGLAN responded, "I do believe you Mark. Who are they?" There was another approximate five-second pause, similar to the first, wherein ALICE HOGLAN heard activity and voices in the background. People were murmuring. There were no screams. ALICE HOGLAN got the impression that her son was distracted because someone was speaking to him. Then the phone went dead. ALICE HOGLAN estimated that her son was on the telephone line for a total of three minutes: roughly a minute and a half with CAROL PHIPPS (including the time it took her to get KATHY HOGLAN on the line), about 30 seconds with KATHY HOGLAN, and about a minute with ALICE HOGLAN. The call originated at about 6:40 or 6:45 a.m., Pacific Daylight Time, and lasted roughly three minutes. HOGLAN noted that while the times were estimates, her account of the conversation was nearly verbatim. Throughout the entire call, her son sounded calm, controlled, matter-of-fact, and focused. After getting off the phone, ALICE HOGLAN dialed 911 to report what had occurred.

  • A Journalistic Series About Homosexuality in Sports
    WHO’S ON THE PLAYING FIELD?: A JOURNALISTIC SERIES ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY IN SPORTS Brian Conlin A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication Chapel Hill 2010 Committee: Adviser: Walter Spearman Professor Jan Yopp Reader: John Thomas Kerr Jr. Distinguished Professor Richard Cole Reader: Professor Karla A. Henderson © 2010 Brian Conlin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT BRIAN CONLIN: Who’s on the Playing Field?: A Journalistic Series about Homosexuality in Sports (Under the direction of Jan Yopp, Dr. Richard Cole and Dr. Karla Henderson) The number of openly gay and lesbian athletes has boomed since the 1980s. The Gay Games is one example of this. The first Gay Games in 1982 had 1,300 participants. By 1994, the Gay Games drew 11,000 participants. In three articles, this master’s thesis examines various aspects of gays and lesbians in sports. The first article covers the Gay Games. It includes information about its supporters and protestors, a brief history and a look ahead to the upcoming Gay Games and beyond. The second article profiles a rugby player on the Carolina Kodiaks, one of two gay rugby teams in North Carolina. The third article examines how journalists, especially those in sports departments, cover LGBT issues. The thesis aims to explore the issues of the gay and lesbian community as they pursue sports and to show that LGBT issues in sport will become more important as society becomes more tolerant.

  • Bingham, Mark (1970-2001) by Ruth M
    Bingham, Mark (1970-2001) by Ruth M. Pettis Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2006 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Mark Bingham, San Francisco businessman and rugby enthusiast, is believed to have participated in the attempt to retake control of United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11, 2001. While details of that event can never be known for certain, e-mail records and personal testimonies provide a substantial account of Bingham's life and character and they corroborate the likelihood of his heroism. He was born Gerald Kendall Bingham in Phoenix, Arizona on May 22, 1970. His parents separated shortly afterward and his mother, Alice Hoglan, struggled to support the two of them. After eight years in Miami, they arrived in northern California with little money. At one point they lived out of Hoglan's car. During these times of adversity, mother and son developed a close bond. When he was ten, she let him rename himself. He chose to be Mark. By the time Mark started middle school, he and his mother had settled into a cabin near Los Gatos, California. Eventually, Hoglan landed a career as a flight attendant. In his early teens Mark was more interested in Dungeons and Dragons than sports, but in high school he blossomed into physical and social confidence when he went out for rugby. With growing self-assurance, Bingham entered the University of California, Berkeley in 1989 as a psychology major. He was elected president of his Chi Psi fraternity chapter. He became an exuberant partygoer, fond of college pranks, pickup basketball, social drinking, and camaraderie.

    CNN.com - Families say Flight 93 tapes prove heroism - April 1... http://cnn.usnews.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?expire=-1&tit... Powered by Families say Flight 93 tapes prove heroism From Phil Hirschkorn and David Mattingly CNN PRINCETON, New Jersey (CNN) --Relatives of the 40 passengers and crew members killed when a hijacked plane crashed into a rural Pennsylvania field September 11 said Thursday the cockpit voice recording offers further proof that those on board acted heroically -- fighting back against hijackers who commandeered United Airlines Flight 93 from Newark to San Francisco. "It does indeed confirm our loved ones died as heroes," said Alice Hoglan, whose son, Mark Bingham, 31, a businessman and rugby player, was aboard the flight that crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. "It was excruciating. It was wonderful," said Hoglan, who flew in from California to hear the tape. The FBI played the 31-minute recording in closed sessions Thursday inside a Princeton, New Jersey, hotel, first for the families of the two pilots and five flight attendants and later for the families of the 33 passengers. None of the fight crew's families -- all of whom were represented -- commented on the experience. Only a handful of some 70 passengers' relatives did. "The whole thing was stressful," said Derrill Bodley, a music teacher who lost his 20-year-old daughter, Deora, a college junior headed home from visiting friends. "I am just here to honor my daughter's last moments, and to be as close to her as I could be," he said. The families listened to the tape through headphones while transcripts, including English translations of Arabic words, were displayed on screens.

  • The Spectral Voice and 9/11
    SILENCIO: THE SPECTRAL VOICE AND 9/11 Lloyd Isaac Vayo A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Eileen C. Cherry Chandler Graduate Faculty Representative Cynthia Baron Don McQuarie © 2010 Lloyd Isaac Vayo All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor “Silencio: The Spectral Voice and 9/11” intervenes in predominantly visual discourses of 9/11 to assert the essential nature of sound, particularly the recorded voices of the hijackers, to narratives of the event. The dissertation traces a personal journey through a selection of objects in an effort to seek a truth of the event. This truth challenges accepted narrativity, in which the U.S. is an innocent victim and the hijackers are pure evil, with extra-accepted narrativity, where the additional import of the hijacker’s voices expand and complicate existing accounts. In the first section, a trajectory is drawn from the visual to the aural, from the whole to the fragmentary, and from the professional to the amateur. The section starts with films focused on United Airlines Flight 93, The Flight That Fought Back, Flight 93, and United 93, continuing to a broader documentary about 9/11 and its context, National Geographic: Inside 9/11, and concluding with a look at two YouTube shorts portraying carjackings, “The Long Afternoon” and “Demon Ride.” Though the films and the documentary attempt to reattach the acousmatic hijacker voice to a visual referent as a means of stabilizing its meaning, that voice is not so easily fixed, and instead gains force with each iteration, exceeding the event and coming from the past to inhabit everyday scenarios like the carjackings.

  • 1.1 Inside the Four Flights
    SUBJECT TO CLASSIFICATION RE'VIEW CHAPTER ONE "WE HAVE SOME PLANES" Tuesday, September 11, 2001, dawned temperate and nearly cloudless in the eastern United States. Millions of men and women readied themselves for work. Some made their way to the Twin Towers, the signature structures of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Others went to the Pentagon, the world's largest office building. Across the Potomac river, the United States Congress was back in session. In Sarasota, Florida, President George W. Bush went for an early morning run. For those heading to an airport, weather conditions could not have been better for a safe and pleasant journey. Among the travelers were Mohamed Atta and Abdul Aziz al Omari, who arrived at the airport in Portland, Maine. 1.1 Inside the Four Flights Boarding the Flights Boston: American 11 and Ullited 175. Atta and a1 Omari boarded a 6:00a.m. flight from Portland to Boston's Logan International Airport.1 When he checked in for his flight to Boston, Atta was selected by a computerized prescreening system known as CAPPS created to identify passengers who should be subject to special security measures. Under security directives in place at the time, the only consequence of Atta's selection by CAPPS was that his checked bags were held off the plane until it was confirmed that he had boarded the aircraft. This did not hinder 2 Atta's plans. · Atta and Omari arrived in Boston at 6:45. Seven minutes later, Atta apparently took a call from Marwan al Shehhi, a longtime colleague who was at another terminal at Logan airport.

  • Winning Matters, and Winning As an Adult Is Rarely Accomplished Without a Pattern of Past Successes from Which One Can Draw Upon
    Eaton Red -- 4 Seasons as a Starter, 4 State Championship Rings Winning matters, and winning as an adult is rarely accomplished without a pattern of past successes from which one can draw upon. This is even more so the case for those who seek and obtain the highest levels of victory and success in life. The battles fought and victories earned by Reds’ players over the years have filled trophy cases and created everlasting memories, but more importantly, they have taught these young men the fine line between victory and defeat, and what it takes to accomplish the former—not just in baseball, but in life.
