Your phrasing is ridiculous. All each team had to do was subdue some pilots and flight crew who, by the way, were all trained to never resist hijackers. The guys flying the planes had no space to retreat to, and had their backs to the attackers while strapped into really big seats.

Given a box cutter and the element of surprise, the attackers had a huge advantage over the pilots.
