I think the last plane that crashed was the only one where the poeple onboard knew WTF was going on. My guess is a cell phone was working someone, and the word got out. Then and only then did the people realize what the plane was being used for, and took action to disable the hijackers. Who knows exactly what happened, but it's my little theory.
I'm positive the people onboard the other planes had NO idea what was going to happen. I mean, you're TAUGHT to just be calm and comply with demands and everything will be A-OK. It's not like they knew at the time that 3 other planes were hijacked, and they didn't have contact with the ground. There was some reporter from CNN on the plane that hit the pentagon, and she was on the phone w/ her husband. She said the entire planes crew and passengers were forced to the back of the plane, and she never mentioned anything about them flying to DC or crashing into anything.
And you know there is no way in hell a pilot of those planes performed the crash into the buildings, I heard a couple idiotic news guys say this and it pissed me off. Your average person should they have known the gravity of the situation would have turned into a "hero" and this wouldn't have happened. There may have been 4 plane crashed, perhaps even over populations but no concentrated attack like this.
It's bullshit, pisses me off. I mean, the guys had KNIVES! Even if they had guns, 4 or 5 passengers die, and the terrorists get subdued. Just need a few guys with nothing to lose... Too bad no one knew that had nothing to lose.
