There was no heroic last stand by the passengers. This is all the more obvious when I remember how cowardly Americans were during COVID.
I have been reluctant to publicize this information. My rationale is explained here:

Flight 93 was shot down by the US military - here's the proof - الكذب الكبير من امريكا
Below is a picture of Paige Brown. We worked together as Arabic linguists in section FGX3B23 at NSA. Not long after I met her in the summer of 2019, she came to me with a pained expression and asked, "is it OK to talk about classified information here?" Since we were almost at our desks inside the Whitelaw NSA building, I said yes. Then she said that Flight 93 was shot down by the US military. I wasn't surprised, but I also understood why a false narrative was propagated and why being told the truth pained her. I see no reason why she would lie or why the USAF instructor at Goodfellow AFB who told her would lie about it either. 24 years of lies is enough, and it is standard practice to declassify things after 25 years.

Truth is stranger than fiction - Ted Striker and I
Like Ted Striker of Airplane!, I too was in the military and served in the Peace Corps in Africa, though I did not introduce basketball to the Malombo tribe.
Giant Australian earthworm so big you can hear it tunneling underground
It's not quite Shai Hulud from Dune size though. Shai Hulud is garbled Arabic for "immortal thing".
The lesson of the sci-fi novel The Tunnel
The Tunnel (Kellermann novel) - Wikipedia
In it, a multi-year project to link North America and Europe with a tunnel under the Atlantic eventually succeeds despite many setbacks. Unfortunately, by the time it is completed, transatlantic air travel is cheaper and faster, and so the tunnel is obsolete.
From this, I assert that any technology that takes more than a few years to develop will probably be made obsolete by something else in the meantime.
There is a similar lesson in the sci-fi short story Superiority. It describes a war between two futuristic civilizations where the one with better technology loses because the other side could build much greater amounts of simpler, cheaper, more reliable weapons.

"Superiority" is a science fiction short story by British writer Arthur C. Clarke, first published in 1951. It depicts an arms race during an interstellar war. It shows the side which is more technologically advanced being defeated, despite its apparent superiority, because of its willingness to discard old technology without having fully perfected the new. Meanwhile, the enemy steadily built up a far larger arsenal of weapons that while more primitive were also more reliable. The story was at one point required reading for an industrial design course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

proof the Pearl Harbor attack was allowed to happen
I understand the film from the Japanese perspective. That makes sense. But the footage from the American perspective indicates that cameras were set up in the right places beforehand. Movie cameras back then were large, expensive, and had to be operated manually. Thus, the US knew the date and time of the attack and was ready to record it well in advance. I'll add that the US had broken Japanese naval and diplomatic codes and thus knew an attack was imminent.
