Um, hello? Am I reading the same story as you folks?
It looks to me like the story says that a passenger uprising ("let's roll") caused the hijackers to abort their mission and suicide the plane into a field. OF COURSE, the passengers were heroic....what am I missing here?

So, if the passengers sat in their seats passively the plane would have crashed in the White House or the Capitold Building.

Instead, the passengers did rise up and the plane did not crash in DC.

This does not diminish what the passengers did at all. The hijackers could not complete their plan. Success for the passengers!
