Flight 11 on 9-11 - anyone have info on pilot turning on talkback switch

[RamboLiberal]

First plane to hit the WTC and where call from flight attendant Ong came from.

Randi Rhodes has been talking about this. That very early in the flight the pilot had the turned on his talkback switch, so the ATC had to know that a highjacking was occurring. Anyone have a link to this story?

1. Yep.

After 8:14 a.m.) At some point after the hijacking begins, the pilot of Flight 11, John Ogonowski, activates the talk-back button, enabling Boston flight controllers to hear what is being said in the cockpit. A controller says, "The button was being pushed intermittently most of the way to New York." An article later notes that "his ability to do so also indicates that he was in the driver's seat much of the way" to the WTC. Such transmissions continue until about 8:38.
