What American "hero" is going to rush the hijacker's in that situation?
There are many ways to placate someone. There's a lot of people who have already mentioned some very good insights into the hostage mentality. Survival is the driving force and as long as there seems to be a way out self preservation will kick in.

I agree with your statement here.....I still have some doubts about the pentagon issue though....my uncle flys test planes for the military and his office is actually in the pentagon and he wouldn't even give me the slightest tid bit on what happened....its like all hush hush crap....I still think it was a missile that hit the pentagon but maybe we will never know all the facts....as far as the planes crashing I dont remember seeing any wreckage accept for the 2 towers....it may also be that the government did stage these things which isnt totally out in left field....the government has been known to hide/do things before so why would they stop now....
