If they wanted to minimize casualties they could have done it on a holiday. This would likely have also increased the media attention as everyone would be glued to their TV's instead of at work. Also they could have picked high profile/low death targets (washington monument, statue of liberty, etc). The terrorists wanted to kill a lot of people. The early AM flight could have been due to a couple of reasons. 1) That is when a bunch of long distance flights in the largest airplanes took off at the same time, 2) where they could get the tickets they wanted, 3) just because, 4) wanted to catch everyone in their cars and bring new york to a stand still, etc
