You guys are forgetting that the hijackers were lying to the people on the plane in order to placate them.

It was only after the last plane found out about the plan, relised that they were all going to die, and did something about it that the hijackers were overpowered.

Movies and conjecture aside, before 9-11 no one had ever dreamed that a hijacked plane would be used as a missile against a building...the people on the first 3 planes probably thought that if they stayed calm, they would go free...as most other hijackings have ended.
