But in the interviews she gave and the official reports about her call with Beamer, there is nothing to indicate that Jefferson posed that question. The post claims that Jefferson asked where the hijackers were from. Still, the supposed conversation in the post takes creative license, and many of the details are untrue. Other elements of the imagined conversation in the post jibe with actual events, including the use of boxcutters by the hijackers to take over the plane, threats by the terrorists that there was a bomb onboard and the passengers' plan to use boiling water against the hijackers. According to Jefferson, Beamer said, "Lisa, would you recite the Lord's Prayer with me?"

Jefferson did give interviews to the media and law enforcement after the plane crashed about her conversation with Beamer, and she told the FBI that she took brief notes during the call on a small Post-it notepad. Those notes are in the FBI's possession.Īlthough the conversation portrayed in the Facebook post is largely fabricated, it includes several details that are consistent with Jefferson's accounts about the call.įor example, in a CBS interview, Jefferson describes how she and Beamer prayed together, and lines of supposed dialogue in the post portray them doing that. However, the call was not taped and a legitimate transcript of the call between Beamer and Jefferson does not exist.
