Thompson's timeline has UA 93 passing over Pittsburg at about 9:55, some time after it was hijacked and 15 minutes after the transponder was turned off at 9:40. The transponder was turned back on briefly at 10:00 (possibly because the passengers had control of the cockpit at this time or were fighting for it) and the plane was at 7,000 feet. Pittsburg control tower was evacuated at 9:49, so I suppose there was chaos there regardless of the altitude.
