As was, I believe, noted in the study, every day large numbers of people fly
in planes forgetting to turn their cell phones off.  They don't make
calls but
the phones regularly look for towers and broadcast to them on cellular
frequencies.  High in the air they see several towers, on takeoff and
approach
they see fewer, but are closer.  Planes are not falling from the sky.
