DBWI: What if 9/11 Used Planes??

As we all know, the 9/11 attacks used hundreds of car/truck bombs, many with nuclear weapons stolen from other countries. However, the initial plan was to use planes instead. This was rejected because it would lead to less casualties in the long run than nuclear truck bombs. That then begs the question: What if they went with their initial plan?

I don’t think their plan to hijack airliners and fly them into buildings was practical. Why would the pilots, passengers, and crew go along with it?
 
How could that many hijack crews get past airport security?

If they did get 3-4 aircraft hijacked & crashed into buildings its possible the low casualty lists, property damage, & news splash would generate enough support for the invasions of Afghanistan & Iraq.

Convince them it's a hostage situation so they lay low and wait to be released?

I might be watching too many movies...
 
We might see fewer conspiracy theories. If there are only 20 or so hijackers, it's easier to keep a secret and harder to disrupt the plot. With as many terrorists as we had in OTL a lot of people are skeptical that the government could really have missed the warning signs.

I don't know but most people have been brainwashed into you don't fight the hijackers and everything will be okay to me the one one in Pennsylvania would have the best chance of that happening by the time I'm guessing that they had from when they realize they were going into the city until they hit a building would have not been enough time to do anything but you never know what they could use
