And so was born the legend of Todd “Let’s Roll” Beamer. As a few reporters have gently pointed out, Beamer was not the most likely candidate, physically or otherwise, to lead a passenger revolt. Not as likely as, say, Jeremy Glick, reportedly a 220-pound, 6’1” former national judo champion. Or Mark Bingham, a 6’5” former champion rugby player. Or Tom Burnett, a natural leader and former college football quarterback. Or Louis Nacke, a powerfully built, 200-pound weightlifter. Or CeeCee Lyles, a street-smart former police detective. Or Richard Guadagno, an enforcement officer who had received training in hand-to-hand combat. Or Alan Beaven, a 6’3” rock climber. Or William Cashman, a former paratrooper with the fabled 101st Airborne.
Why then Todd Beamer? The most likely answer is that Beamer had something that none of the other passengers had: a personnel file at the Oracle Corporation – as did his wife, Lisa, since, as one reporter noted, “both [Lisa and Todd] took jobs at Oracle before starting a family.” (Jim McKinnon “The Phone Line from Flight 93 Was Still Open When a GTE Operator Heard Todd Beamer Say: Are You Guys Ready? Let’s Roll,” Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, September 16, 2001) How difficult would it have been, one wonders, for members of the intelligence community to gain access to those files, given that Oracle is little more than a thinly disguised CIA front led by a ‘former’ company man? And how difficult would it have been to use that information to create the basic outlines of a plausible phone call placed by Todd Beamer, complete with references to immediate family members? There would not be enough information, of course, to create a believable transcript, but certainly enough to create a reasonably convincing “summary.” And that, as it turns out, was all that was needed.
