> passengers fought back and the pilots crashed on purpose. theres literally blackbox recording of the cockpit where you here guys breaking down the door to the cockpit
And you believe this? Whats more likely in your head:
> early shit days of cell phones
> never worked on planes
> passengers taken hostage still find out whats happening
> heroic struggle takes places
> valiant brave souls over power the bad guys (surely depicted as not brown/black in reenactments)
> after taking back control, they choose to crash the plane in a field in the middle of nowhere

-OR-

> the US government has air defense capabilities
> They waited to shoot down the only plane that was passing over unpopulated land
> This was justified but horrible to admit at a time of great demoralization
> Lie and fabricate hero story for moral boost
> *in comes the Ghost of kyiv*
