Weird I dont remember any survivors of flight 93.
Not everyone goes into this state of shock. Some people have trained themselves to fight it off and think as rationally as the situation allows.
This was most likely a room full of 18-22 year old kids who when surprised with a gun to the face froze up and obeyed the guy with the gun. After all when a gun is pointing at you you tend to look at the gun, not the guy holding it or anyone else. This is also another reaction to danger. When something is threatening you, most peoples response is a sort of tunnel vision in which all they see is the instrument of injury. This eliminates the realization that you and the group with you may outnumber the threats.
Again not everyone reacts like this.
