I mean woulndt it be better to say "hey we had to shoot it down, we did you a favor" "Help me Dr Zaius" 31st M.E.U. They needed a "feel good" story. In a day with so much misery the whole story of the heroes of flight 93 gave the public a badly needed boost. Think Jessica Lynch here. The initial story that came out was that her group was attacked and she fought bravely, shooting until her gun jammed, then stabbing an Iraqi with her knife before being taken captive. Then she was tortured, raped, shot, starved, etc. until our oh so brave troopers descended on the rooftop of the heavily fortified enemy hospital camp, and rescued the brave warrior maiden under heavy fire, blah, blah, blah. Very little of it was true, but it was a heroine feel good story they hoped to pass off on the public. In the case of Flight 93, there was no one alive to dispute the "hero story" so the whole thing stood as it was told on those first days. Given the general unreliability of such rumor-based tales, it's unlikely things went down quite like we've been led to believe.
