It was the passenger uprising that prevented Flight 93 from its terrorist destination.

Whether the heroic passengers managed to gain access to the cockpit doesn't really matter. Those heroic passengers, whatever they did, prevented Flight 93 from its Washington DC destination of terror.

They, the passengers of Flight 93, were and remain heroes. Nothing can diminish that fact. They sacrificed their own lives to stop the terrorist plot; countless others at some unknown ground location are alive today as a result. And that is heroism.

Answer me this: If the passengers did not gain access to the cockpit (ie. the cockpit was sealed with the hijackers commanding the plane) then why would the hijackers deliberately crash the plane? It doesn't make sense.

I have to admit to being confused here.
