You're on a plane with say 100 other passengers, some guy just slashes someone else's throat with a box cutter, everyone is now scared for their lives, adrenelin is pumping, etc. Do you really believe everyone would just sit there, and patiently & obediently wait? Again, these are Americans we're talking about.

That, and they were capable of taking over the entire plane before the pilot, co-pilot, or any of the staff would call in a quick mayday, triggering NORAD to spring into the air? Again, the fabricated lie the US government fed us is simply implausible.
