I just started watching the historical footage from CNN; it's interesting to hear the commentary in between when the first and second planes hit the tower.
"Was the plane having any difficulty flying?" "Yes, it seemed to be rocking back and forth"
"Was this a navigational error?"
An announcement in the South Tower immediately after the crash instructed people to stay in their offices.
Even after the second tower was hit, the immediate reaction was that it was a second explosion in the North Tower caused by the fuselage of the plane.
4 minutes after the second plane hit, when it was clear that two planes were involved: "was it possible a navigational error directed two planes into the World Trade Center?"
It's incredible to think just how much our attitude and perspectives changed after realizing what exactly had happened.
Not quite an answer to your question, but in the 60s and 70s hijackings were quite common (86 hijackings in 1969) and weren’t seen in the way they are now. The common understanding was that the hijackers wanted to re-route the plane somewhere else, and that everyone would end up alive but inconvenienced.
It’s also one reason why only the passengers in United 93 fought back; the idea of a plane as a missile wasn’t widely understood or considered until the planes hit the twin towers. Fighter jets were not even under consideration to be mobilized until United 93.
