Yeah the passengers did it

Thanks to delays and the hijackers waiting longer to overtake the plane, and the phones in the seats back then the passengers knew what was going on by then and knew the plane was a target for something they just didn’t know what

So they took matters in their own hands and didn’t let the terrorists win

I believe the passengers tried and during the struggle plane went into a dive and crashed. But I believe we were close to it being intercepted. I think the call was made to shoot it down but the people averted that.

A friend of the family, who was an employee for one of the airlines, was at work that day (Tennessee). The first information they heard was that the plane was shot down. This doesn't mean it was true. But it was insider information that day from airline employees concerning Flight 993. We're told evidence doesn't support this narrative.

How were people.aware of what happened?

Were there satellite news, phones, and internet available at 30,000 feet ?

There were phones built into the seats that you could use to make in flight calls. There's plenty of recordings of them being told via these phones.

There use to be a recording between the government and the airlines on youtube of conversations that were had that day. It was about 2 hours length. The vice president gave approval to shoot down the 4th airplane. Around the same time someone else high up in the presidents cabinet was being flown by emergency from North Dakota to DC in an f16 by the North Dakota National Guard that was in that PA area or headed there when the order was given. The pilots name was Gibbons and he use to have an interview talking about the flight over . There's circumstantial evidence based on things he did not say that he shot it down.

it was pretty clear within the week that they tried to overtake the plane and during the struggle the terrorist crashed it. not only the phone calls, the lets roll but also the cockpit recordings.

i trust the government zero but in this case i do believe the official story.....now do I think they would have shot it down...I think they would have tried but as someone else mentioned, it was chaos that day and many scrambled jets didnt have missiles or guns loaded.

But there were actual recordings of the plan from the people who executed it. Telling their family goodbye.

They got into the cockpit and tried to retake the plane and the fricking muzzi a-hole rolled the plan and put it in the ground.

You can google the transcript and read what happened. The "NO!" at the end of transcripts is haunting.

I don’t think the government wouod tell us if they shot it down.

Why? 3 planes had already flown into buildings and they knew this plane was hijacked.

It left a gigantic hole in the ground that would lead me to believe it was intact when it hit.

Had it been shite down, the debris would have been much more widespread than it was.

I do t think the government would even be able to keep it a secret if they shot it down

If it were blasted out of the sky it would’ve left a debris field


That's not how air-to-air missiles work. They don't make an entire aircraft explode, especially not a large on like Flight 93. Most air-to-air missiles actually work off of a proximity fuze that detonates the missile warhead and sends out thousands of pieces of frag that perforate the target. At most, you get a portion of a wing or the tail sheered off. Other times you destroy an engine. But, the full aircraft never just explodes in mid-air.

So if Flight 93 would have been shot down, there would have been a small debris field where whatever damage the missile caused fell to the ground and then the large debris field and "hole in the ground" where the bulk of the aircraft impacted.

I believe they did breach the cockpit, but it was too late to stop the dive. Terrorists are cowards

There's circumstantial evidence based on things you’ve written here that your parents were very closely related (i.e. siblings).

Like most of us here, I remember the events of that day. Had the US government shot down flight 93, it would’ve been highly unfortunate but understandable.

I choose to believe they died as heroes on that day. Despite what might have transpired and based on audio, that was their intent; that is their legacy; and I for one will in no way attempt to disturb it.
