In the struggle, either intentionally or accidentally the airplane was likely put into a very steep descent. What happens when that occurs is the airplane will break the speed of sound. Professional pilots have to use extreme caution when doing an emergency descent to avoid this problem. The hijackers certainly weren't professional pilots, and in my opinion this is what ultimately caused flight 93 to crash ... the struggle wound up putting the airplane into a descent during which the speed of sound was broken.

Since commercial airplanes are not designed for mach 1, this ultimately made the engines fall off, gave the sound of an explosion, and made the airplane's descent unrecoverable even if the passengers overpowered the hijackers.

RIP to the innocents on board that airplane.
