Or, perhaps the tower called the company and told them to tell the pilots to give them a call. They may well have been in the blocks when they asked for the tower phone number on the ground control frequency. The tower controller had switched everyone else to the tower freq a few minutes earlier.

And, the CVR tape was regrettably overwritten, just as it has been in many similar cases over the years. An honest mistake, right?
