An official has said there was definitely some shouting, but it is not clear who was in control of the plane before it crashed. Several family members of passengers have previously described cell phone conversations saying there might be an attempt to re-take control of the plane.

Officials say the voice recorder was able to pick up scuffling sounds.

Terrorists hijacked four commercial jets early on September 11. Two of them slammed into the World Trade Center's twin towers in New York, and a third hit the Pentagon in Washington.

But Flight 93 -- which departed Newark, New Jersey, en route to San Francisco, California, and turned around over Cleveland, Ohio, to head back toward the east -- never reached its target, which remains unknown.

A plane full of hero's!  I hope they got some payback before the plane hit the ground....

I've wondered where that jet was enroute to and how many lives they saved by fighting back.  I hate flying in jets so I would probably not ever be in their position, but have tried to imagine what I would have done.  They are heroes in my book of the highest caliber.
