I believe there were two sets of prayers going on inside the 9/11 airliners: one set was being offered in the cockpit to Allah by a handful of men. Meanwhile, dozens of men, women and children in the cabin were no doubt praying just as fervently to the Christian God.

Well, we know the outcome. What does it all say about the power of prayer.

It has been experimentally shown to not work at all: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/31/health/31pray.html?ex=1301461200&en=4acf338be4900000&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss

*shrug* I don't believe in the power of prayer. And what happened in the 9/11 aircrafts was the action before any prayers.

Your question suggests that the ultimate purpose of prayer is to stay alive. This is wrong.

We all have to die sometime, somehow. You should pray that God have mercy upon you, forgive you your sins, and allow you to enter Heaven.

Well, it seems that prayer that time got them killed, unfortunately. That's some power... but not the type I thought would have been.

Your insights reveal that you do not understand the concept of prayer. GOD is not a santa figure who just gives us things we ask for. HE has given us some requirements for prayer and JESUS gave us the example. It is about His will and not ours.

I prayed that the Lord would reveal himself to me in the name of Jesus, and one night about a week afterwards I found myself crying because Jesus died for me. My sins killed him.
