The passenger revolt on Flight{{spaces}}93 began at 09:57, after the passengers voted on whether to act.<ref name="Chap1"/> The plane left its Washington, D.C. course after the passengers revolted and the hijackers began maneuvering the plane violently in response.<ref name="Chap1"/>

The hijackers in the cockpit became aware of the revolt at 09:57:55, Jarrah exclaiming, "Is there something? A fight?"<ref name="Trans93"/>

Edward Felt dialed [[9-1-1]] from his cell phone from the rear lavatory of the aircraft seeking information at 09:58.<ref name="Sum93"/> His call was answered by dispatcher John Shaw, and Felt was able to tell him about the hijacking before the call was disconnected.<ref>{{cite news |last=Hoffman |first=Ernie |title=Dispatcher honored for Flight 93 efforts |url=http://www.post-gazette.com/headlines/20011207dispatcher1207p3.asp |work=[[Pittsburgh Post-Gazette]] |date=December 7, 2001 |access-date=August 24, 2008 |archive-date=June 13, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100613151625/http://www.post-gazette.com/headlines/20011207dispatcher1207p3.asp |url-status=live}}</ref> Multiple news reports (originally based on a 9-1-1 supervisor's account after having overheard the call) asserted that Edward Felt reported hearing an explosion and seeing smoke from an undetermined location on the plane.<ref>{{cite news |last=Spangler |first=Todd |title=Passenger makes frantic call before jetliner crashes in Pa. |url=http://www.bergen.com/news/2pacrash200109123.htm |work=Bergen County Record |date=September 12, 2001 |access-date=March 23, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011108030728/http://www.bergen.com/news/2pacrash200109123.htm |archive-date=November 8, 2001}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Levin |first=Steve |title=It hurt to listen |url=http://www.post-gazette.com/nation/20020421flight930421p1.asp |work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette |date=April 21, 2002 |access-date=August 24, 2008 |archive-date=February 24, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110224024211/http://www.post-gazette.com/nation/20020421flight930421p1.asp |url-status=live}}</ref> These reports were not corroborated by Shaw or Felt's wife, Sandra, who listened to the recording afterwards.<ref>{{cite book |last=Longman |first=Jere |title=Among the Heroes: United Flight 93 and the Passengers and Crew Who Fought Back |edition=1 |year=2002 |publisher=HarperCollins |location=New York |isbn=978-0060099084 |page=[https://archive.org/details/amongheroesunite00long/page/264 264] |chapter=23 |quote=A male passenger, Edward Felt, did call from the lavatory of the plane, but never mentioned an explosion or puff of smoke, said John Shaw, the dispatcher who took the call.

CeeCee Lyles called her husband once more from a cell phone and told him the passengers were forcing their way into the cockpit.<ref name="9/11Commission"/> Jarrah began to roll the airplane left and right to knock the passengers off balance. He told another hijacker in the cockpit at 09:58:57, "They want to get in here. Hold, hold from the inside. Hold from the inside. Hold."<ref name="Trans93"/> Jarrah changed tactics at 09:59:52 and pitched the nose of the airplane up and down to disrupt the assault.<ref name="Chap1"/>

The cockpit voice recorder captured the sounds of crashing, screaming, and the shattering of glass and plates.<ref>{{cite news |title=Transcripts – CNN Wolf Blitzer Reports: Senate Debates Attack on Iraq; Did Russian Mob Attempt to Fix Olympics? |url=http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0207/31/wbr.00.html |date=July 31, 2002 |work=CNN |access-date=June 28, 2008 |archive-date=June 29, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629125251/http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0207/31/wbr.00.html |url-status=live}}</ref> Three times in a period of five seconds there were shouts of pain or distress from a hijacker outside the cockpit, suggesting a hijacker who was standing guard outside the cockpit was being attacked by the passengers.<ref name="Mitchell"/>{{rp|103}} Jarrah stabilized the plane at 10:00:03.<ref name="Chap1"/><ref>''Flight 93: The Story, the Aftermath, and the Legacy of American Courage on 9/11'', pp&nbsp;103</ref> Five seconds later, he asked, "Is that it? Shall we finish it off?" Another hijacker responded, "No. Not yet. When they all come, we finish it off."<ref name="Trans93"/> Jarrah once again pitched the airplane up and down.

A passenger in the background cried, "In the cockpit! If we don't, we'll die!" at 10:00:25. Sixteen seconds later, another passenger yelled, "Roll it!", possibly referring to using the [[Airline service trolley|food cart]].<ref name="Chap1"/> The voice recorder captured the sound of the passengers using the food cart as a battering ram against the cockpit door.<ref name="Mitchell"/>{{rp|104}}

Jarrah ceased the violent maneuvers at 10:01:00 and recited the [[takbir]] twice. He then asked another hijacker, "Is that it? I mean, shall we put it down?" The other hijacker responded, "Yes, put it in it, and pull it down."<ref name="Chap1"/> The passengers continued their assault and at 10:02:17, a male passenger said, "Turn it up!" A second later, a hijacker said, "Pull it down! Pull it down!" At 10:02:33, Jarrah made a desperate plea in Arabic, repeatedly screaming "Give it to me!", possibly referring to the plane's [[Yoke (aircraft)|yoke]].<ref name="Mitchell"/>{{rp|104–105}}

There is disagreement among some family members of the passengers and the investigative officials as to whether the passengers managed to breach the cockpit or even break the cockpit door. The ''[[9/11 Commission Report]]'' concluded that "the hijackers remained at the controls but must have judged that the passengers were only seconds from overcoming them".<ref name="Chap1"/> Many of the passengers' family members, having heard the audio recordings, believe the passengers breached the cockpit<ref name="FoxNews">{{cite news |date=August 8, 2003 |title=Families of Passengers Question Theory That Hijackers Crashed Flight 93 |url=https://www.foxnews.com/story/families-of-passengers-question-theory-that-hijackers-crashed-flight-93 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130704150821/http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,94213,00.html |archive-date=July 4, 2013 |access-date=August 24, 2008 |publisher=[[Fox News]] |df=mdy-all |agency=Associated Press}}</ref> and killed at least one of the hijackers guarding the cockpit door; some interpreted the audio as suggesting that the passengers and hijackers struggled for control of the yoke.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.foxnews.com/story/flight-93-hijacker-we-have-a-bomb-on-board |title=Flight 93 Hijacker: 'We Have a Bomb on Board' |last1=Emanuel |first1=Mike |first2=Liza |last2=Porteus |author3=The Associated Press |date=April 13, 2006 |publisher=Fox News |access-date=September 10, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111015025756/http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,191420,00.html |archive-date=October 15, 2011 |url-status=live |df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=126702&page=1 |title=Wives of Passengers on Flight 93 |date=September 18, 2001 |publisher=ABC News |access-date=September 10, 2011 |archive-date=January 20, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120120203719/http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=126702&page=1 |url-status=live}}</ref>
