... The passengers did try to overtake the hijackers ...
Precisely. Hence, no myth. I don't recall anyone ever claiming that the cockpit was breached by the struggling passengers etc.

No, the story that day (and days following) was that the plane went down in the field because of the battle in the cockpit. Made for a nice story. That's all it was.
