They are the heroes of 9/11 - the passengers killed fighting their hijackers. But a new book claims they were shot down by U.S. fighter jets...and that the whole story is a cynical cover-up
To be fair you can stabilise a commercial plane really easily, it's the landing and taking off that's hard. If your goal is just to fly it in a straight line and not turn it at all then you just pull back on the controls and level the wings.
yeah listening to the "don't sink pull up" warnings works if that's the only thing on your mind at the moment, not when you're simultaneously attempting to subdue attackers and coordinating exfil in a 40m long metal tube
Pieces of plane and bodies don't bounce 8 miles away from an impact site though, unless the plane was actually shot and those pieces were scattered in the air. That's the clearest indicator in the whole story really.

Okay... but we're talking people fired up on adrenaline and panicking and arguing over who's best to do it.

Flight computers are a wonderful thing.
