Alternate 9-11

How would things be different if Al-Qaeda, on September 11, 2001, sent its 19 suicide terrorists to board 19 jet planes, each with explosives hidden in their clothes. Could they have smuggled enough to crash the plane? If not, could they have smuggled a bomb in the suitcase big enough to crash the plane? If they succeed, how would events have unfolded differently?
 
It would not be particular spectacular.

If 19 planes should crash, not al of it would be considered attacks to be gin with. So there are no flash news to be seen on TV. Even if say 10 of the planes would be deemed as terror attacks, it would be scattered news and scattered details over several days.

In essence: Not a dramatic impact and maybe not dramatic enough to go to war in Afghanistan.
