Most of them yes.
Most of the people must have been killed almost instantly on impact. Though the word instant mean less than one second, there is a delay between a human body being ripped apart and the time the brain stops to function resulting clinical death.
Plus there could have been a minority who didn't die instantly (but probably seriously injured) yet died as a result of the fire that followed.
The 4th plane on the other hand would have had the least number of painful deaths as the aircraft either disintegrated in midair causing rapid decompression rendering the passengers unconscious before actual impact.
(The disintegration was either due to extreme maneuvers by the inexperienced hijacker pilot causing catastrophic structural failure OR as speculated by some a US air force missile that destroyed it causing the large debris field characteristic of a mid air explosion as opposed to a direct crash. The idea that the passengers fought back to deliberately crash it down to the ground is a very unlikely scenario).
Either way, it was an unfortunate fate for a group of people who had little or nothing to do with the whole motive behind such a tragedy.

It is more than likely they or at least some of them did, after all, we all feel pain at an alarming rate. Remember that burnt finger and the speed you remove it from the flame/Heat, add to that the fact that the aircraft would collapse in wave son impact, the people in the rear may have suffered impact Trauma, In gods name I hope that they didnt , but this is the human body.
R.I.P.

Some yes.
Some no.
The body can only withstand so much damage before the nerves go numb but, as you might imagine, its quite a lot.
I suspect about half were knocked unconscious and died fairly fast. The rest, perhaps not.

I think the anticipation was far worse than the physical pain. Rest in peace. :(

I think that the physical pain they felt upon impact was part of a mercifully instantaneous death...and that it was nothing compared to the pain they felt when they realized what was going to happen to them.

I dont think thats a question anyone thats living can answer. we werent the ones in the plane. So i dont think that its possible to answer. you would probably have to go through that yourself.

i would think, pray and hope, no they didnt, as they would have been all killed instantly, in a matter of minutes, its the feelings before, knowing what was going to happen to them, that would have been the most painfull
