If you precisely interpret FAA guidelines for success or failure of a hijacking, the alleged hijakers of 9/11 were not successful.
"...the FAA definition of hijacking sucess - where hijackers gain control of the plane and reach their destination, where by landing or by a parachute escape, and are not immediately arrested or killed in landing..."
In other words, because the hijackers supposedly died, it would be categorized as an unsuccessful hijaking.
By the way, the source of this quote does point out the importance of redefining the success of a hijacking.
