And that the government concealed it because of the fallout from such an act. The idea that the hostages took over and then intentionally (and heroically) aimed it into the ground seemed less likely to me, frankly.

So this is revealing to me. And the storyline it suggests makes a lot more sense than passengers agreeing to kill themselves with a nosedive.

Flight 93 passengers attempted to retake the plane, and in the struggle, the aircraft crashed in a field in Pennsylvania, killing everyone on board.
