Remember flight 93, please don't forget (censor) certain aspects

Just about everyone I know remembers the conversations leading up to Todd Beamer's heroism, they recall Lisa Jefferson, the Verizon operator who stayed on the phone with Beamer and Jefferson's documentation of Beamer's last words, which, depending on the account, went either "Help me God, help me Jesus," or "Help me Jesus." The actors on the A&E show tell us how accurate and true to the transcripts this movie was, but did I hear Beamer's last moment words? Did I miss something? I believe Beamer's final prayer to his God was excised. In the case of A&E's retelling of this historic event, the channel and the program's producers owe viewers an explanation as to why their faithfulness to the transcripts they had access to stopped cold the moment one of the flight's heroes paid tribute to his God in a very personal way and denied its viewers crucial information that would have provided a window into his motivation and an understanding of how he acquired the courage to do what he had to do.
