I mean they didn't know they would die for 100% sure - only God knew. Christianity says suicide is a sin and by crashing the plane they were killing themselves and the other passengers.
So are the passengers who crashed the plane burning in hell for their actions even though they may have saved thousands of lives on the ground?

They didn't crash, they were shot down. If you look at the photos of the crash site, you will see it doesn't look like any other plane crash.

That was not suicide. They did pretty much know. They didn't willingly kill themselves. You think they wanted to be in that situation? No.
And where does it say that you have to ask forgiveness for all sins in order to go into Heaven. Jesus is the forgiveness if we trust in Him. Think about it, have you asked forgiveness for every little bitty thing you've done wrong?
And besides that, they didn't willingly crash the plane. They were hoping the guy who used to be a pilot would be able to land it. They probably knew it wasn't likely, but they tried.

I don't believe any hero's crashed the plane. The government saw that the plane was headed towards Washington and decided to shoot it down before it could destroy the White House.
I don't believe for one second the stories of hero's retaking the plane and wrestling it out of the hands of the hijackers.

I guess you could ask the same question then for the fellow that puts himself in the line of fire when he is at war.
They knew they were going down if they didn't take action. It's called instinct which isn't premeditated so I'm going with "no". Remember you go to hell if you aren't saved (accept Him as your savior) and don't ask God to be merciful to your soul. Always ask Him to be merciful to your soul since you will never remember every single sin you commit in a confession.

Well.......The terrorists crashed the plane because the passengers were taking over. When they were taking the plane over, they didn't know they were going to die for sure they were just trying to prevent several hundred more lives from being lost.

If they were right with God they No they are not in hell, they did NOT commit suicide either, they saved many,many lives. GOD will take care of all this for them, so don't say such things, they have loved ones here. they didn't no that no one else could fly that plane.they may have even saved your life, or one of your family.

That plane was shot down, so they did not commit suicide.
They never reached the flight deck and did not cause the plane to crash.
But there is no God, heaven or hell, so they aren't in hell or anywhere else. They are dead.

You're not looking at the situation properly. They did it to save other people's lives....you know, like Jesus did....it's called sacrifice, not suicide....also, no one here would know if any them went to hell or not, b/c no one here knows how their relationship w/ Christ was. Now stop asking stupid questions, this was all obvious if you had done a little studying.

Stop trying to create controversy. And the fact that you have heroes in question marks is appalling. What else would you call them? They knowingly threw themselves into a dangerous situation to try and save others. Sounds like a hero to me.

In my belief only those self-killers come in hell who use this as an escape from the tests / problems that God gave them to solve in this life.

No, it was self-defense and also done to protect a greater number of people on the ground. It was not suicide. It was an act of selflessness.
