If the aircraft crashed for some other reason

And what would that "reason be?

Remember, your post made the specific statement "The point is that they weren't successful."

So you obviously know more than we do. Please enlighten us.

When I said "they weren't successful" I meant that the passengers were not successful in entering the cockpit.

That plane crashed with an Islamic hijacker at the wheel. It did not crash with a gang of passengers pouring into the cockpit. It did not crash with Wesley Snipes throwing a hijacker out the door. It did not crash as a result of a passenger named MacGyver making a hand grenade out of his airline meal utensils and throwing it in the cockpit.
