Someone wrote: Assuming the US government had found out the plot could they have shot down the plane with
the innocent passengers to save the twin towers or the pentagon?

I think that the answer is obvious. These innocent passengers were going 
to be killed in any event, therefore, wouldn't it be logical to shoot down the plane 
to save even one person (let alone thousands) in the towers or pentagon since these 
passengers were doomed from the start.
