The myth at the time was certainly that they breached the cockpit - I remember that pretty clearly from the days following 9-11. I don't care what the "myth at the time" was, you are explicitly stating that the news reports and we all stated that the passengers rushed the cocpit, grabbed the controls, and crashed the plane into the ground. I NEVER, EVER remember anybody stating that that was definitely what happened. It was speculated that the passegers go to the cabin and tried to break in, especially since it was reported that you could hear a distubance on the voice recorder. But it was never stated conclusively that they took control of the plane.

I said on another post that I distinctly remember the Fox and Friends gang talking about this version of events. I do EVER EVER remember it, even if you don't (or won't). Certainly it was speculative, since no one knew exactly what happened, but it was the preferred story/myth at the time, whether you choose to remember it or not.
Now, with more facts, it seems that that version likely didn't happen. And as I said, I didn't belive it at the time, and I don't now. This recent finding supports my belief.
