What really happened to Flight 93 during 9/11?

This is one of the more interesting topics about 9/11 and after reading many other posts on this sub about what might have actually happened to flight 93, I’ve noticed that opinions mainly fall into either:

• Flight 93 was shot down by the US government and the “revolt” from the passengers was completely made up afterwards as a feel-good story for the public

• Flight 93 landed safely in Cleveland

• Flight 93’s official story is true and that the passengers did die with a final act of heroism fighting back against the hijackers

For the sake of this post, we’ll discuss mainly points 1 and 3, because point 2 assumes there was no crash at all and can be saved for an entirely different conspiracy theory post.

Usually when the flight 93 incident is discussed, some people tend to think it’s either/or (and that does make sense why some are suspicious, considering how the crash site looked, along with some debris that were found too far away) but has anyone considered that the “truth” could be a mix of points 1 and 3? Maybe it’s possible that there was indeed a passenger revolt, but tragically while it was happening, the US government shot down the plane and sacrificed their own citizens due to “national security” and not wanting to take any more chances? Remember, VP Dick Cheney had already given authorization to shoot down flight 93. That could explain the recordings from the cockpit recorder about a revolt occurring, while also possibly addressing why the crash site looked odd (as many other conspiracy theorists on this sub have said many times in the past, especially regarding the debris or lack thereof, and other debris being way too far from the area) and there may also be a reason why they wouldn’t admit the full truth, because, during that day where the citizens are already in a state of shock and horror due to the events that unfolded, which to you sounds better?

• The passengers on that plane were heroes, selflessly sacrificed themselves and successfully prevented the hijackers from killing more people. True American heroes and were a great inspiration

Or

• We shot down a plane full of our own citizens onboard to ensure the hijackers onboard weren’t able to achieve their intended target. Sucks for the innocents

Considering they obviously weren’t in the doomed flight as it was occurring, It’s not like they would’ve previously known there was a passenger revolt until after some time had passed and they were able to investigate further what really happened and retrieve those recordings from the supposed “crash site”. From the perspective of those politicians without context as it was happening in real time, flight 93 would’ve been under those “deemed a threat” and it also might explain why Rumsfeld in a later press conference accidentally slipped up at one point and mentioned it was shot down (some say he just misspoke, but perhaps it was a Freudian slip? I’m leaning towards the latter, he seemed WAY too specific).

This is the rumsfeld video btw, for those who are curious

Most of the time, people who believe flight 93 was shot down tend to also say that the revolt didn’t happen and was a completely made up story to make the public feel better, but I’m trying to say that both things could possibly be true, there could’ve been an actual revolt but it was too late because they all got shot down regardless (it’s possible that flight 93 was supposed to maybe hit building 7?). Remember the saying, the best lies are usually those with a kernel of truth
