Puke, keep in mind the people on the planes likely did not know what the terrorists had planned, until it was too late. This was totally unprecedented.

If you put yourself in the mind of the passangers and crew onboard, you are flying in an airplane with obviously unstable individuals in charge. They no douubt expected the plane to be landed somewhere and demands made, and eventually they would be freed. That's how it normally happens. But today the rules changed. Today the world changed. But the people onboard the planes couldn't know that at the time.

In fact we may find out that the reason the fourth plane crashed in penn. is because the passengers discovered via radio or cell phone what was going on and decided to rush the terrorists.

The people on board weren't sheep. They were scared. And they assumed the terrorists didn't want to die. Most people don't.
