each plane had between 3 and 5 terrorists, armed with knives or box cutters.

Sounds tough to overcome them.. maybe if you were in the back and said "ok everyone on the count 5 attack!". Probably your fellow passengers would cower sheepishly while you were cut to ribbons.

The passengers didn't know they were headed for certain death, the terrorists said "don't do anything stupid and you'll be fine" (I know this because flight 11 pilot left mike on so ground control could hear everything)
