A difference between Flight 93 and the other planes involved in the September 11th attacks was that passengers became aware of the terrorists' plans.

Explanation:

On September 11, 2001, Flight 93 was one of four planes hijacked as part of the terrorist attacks that day. It was the only plane that failed to reach its target. Instead, it crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, about 150 miles from Washington, D. C.

Passengers and crew were partially informed, including via their cell phones, of the events in New York earlier that morning. When their plane was hijacked, they attempted to overpower the hijackers. It is believed that the hijackers crashed the aircraft to prevent passengers from gaining control of the aircraft. It is believed that co-pilot LeRoy Homer, flight attendants CeeCee Lyles and Sandra Bradshaw and passengers Todd Beamer, Mark Bingham, Tom Burnett, Andrew Garcia, Jeremy Glick and Richard Guadagno have been strongly opposed to the hijackers.
