Besides, they died anyway... why just sit there pissing you pants. If you're almost definitely going to die anyway, you may as well prevent as many seconday deaths as possible.

Did that really happen though? Wasn't there some black box/cockpit recording that suggested the whole "let's roll" thing was not what really happened? I remember this being talked about for a while and then nada.
Edit: Now I recall, there was a recording of the guy saying he and a couple of others were going to do something against the hijackers but we never learned what the outcome was - whether they did it, or deliberately crashed the plane or it was shot down.
Anyway, what d*d is saying is true, people do freeze and can be afraid to act, even if when thinking straight they know that they should get up and do something about a dangerous situation. Most passengers won't likely interfere.
