Regardless of whether the govt shot it down or not, there was definitely a passenger uprising going on.
"Vanity Fair" ran a great article on all the phone calls that were made from passengers. They interviewed the recipients of those various calls and then put it all in chronological order. Water was being boiled, anything that could be used as a weapon was being stashed, people were commenting that they were getting ready to act.
Of course, I suppose it could be argued that the govt faked all those calls on-the-fly, or maybe they paid off a bunch of folks to CLAIM they got calls...
