FYI, from:

http://www.netstate.com/states/geography/pa_geography.htm

"The highest point in Pennsylvania is Mt. Davis at 3,213 feet."...


EDIT: From the diagram linked to in a previous post, showing the altitude of Flight 93, the impact area looks to be approx 1,000ft above the ground, so it is possible that cell towers were higher than we are expecting, but only by 1000 ft, give or take the height of the towers themselves.

That means we have 5,000 ft altitude minus 1,000 ft elevation in the area, which leaves us with cell calls allegedly made from ~4,000ft above the ground.
