I vote on the heroes. It would be horrible if one of our pilots had to shoot down one of our own planes

Could be also the message of passenger attack on the hijackers was a veiled invitation to the USAF to do just that. I.e. the passengers were going to sacrifice themselves, so why not go down this way, and in an unpopulated wooded area which would preserve the most evidence from a crash.

Let the CTs begin! Oh well, even FDR is accused of having preknowledge of the attack on PH.
