Imagine that you were one of the passenger on United 93. Say that you knew that it was hijacked. What would you do to stop the terriorists?

The terrorists were already in the cockpit most likely before the majority of the passengers realized what was happening. At some point in time, when they did discover the gravity of the situation, presumably a number of the passengers did take action in some way since several of them held cell phone conversations with relatives who informed those on the plane of the ongoing catastrophe, and there have been reports of the "let's roll..." cry prior to their attempt to take over the plane from the terrorists. It can be construed, too, that the passengers were successful in their plan because the airplane did not complete the terrorists' mission of flying into the Capitol or White House and instead crashed into a field near Pittsburgh. It is not possible in retrospect to know what we who were not on board would have or could have done had we been there. Obviously, we (as they) would have known eventually that we were doomed, that we would die that day, so doubtlessly each person reacts to such knowledge in a unique fashion... For myself, I would hope that I would have behaved heroically, joining if asked the group who apparently stormed the cockpit and brought down the plane!

Yeah Im not sure how the passengers did not know what was going on.
a) the passengers must have seen land approaching at a steady speed.
b) captain probably did not give an eta on landing so the should not be losing altitude.
c) there are unknown men standing in the aisles and going into the cockpit.

Lol omg Im not sure if it would work but you'd think that groups of 3 or 4 people each should be able to take down 1 terrorist so if you get all the people into groups and jump on them lol and tie them up or something.....lol I dunno in theory it sounds like it'd work.
