Yeah, I guess those passengers most likely didn't know that the hijackers planned to crash the plane. If they had known, bet things would have been different. I know personally I wouldn't have sat there if I knew.
Yes, I think everyone now will learn from this horrible experience, and methinks hijackers won't have the psychological upper hand next time around (meaning making people think they have a bomb on em, or think that they are merely taking a plane to another destination, not crashing it). Personally, I think every plane should have a frikken security guard aboard standing there with a gun. And they DEFINITELY need to improve technology AND manpower to check luggage and passengers before anyone is allowed to board a plane. Hey, it may be an inconvenience to us, but better than risking dying in a horrible firey death eh?
