The folks flying the planes were just that, folks flying planes. They managed a big bang that has had consequences, but the actual change in the direction of history will be negligible in the long run.
The question was about LIHOP vs MIHOP - I believe that most folks who want it to be one or the other of those (or any of the other creative explanations for things that happen in the world) are trying to find ways to make sense of things in a human perspective. If some small band of miscreants Let It Happen or Made It Happen than there might be a way for some other small band of good guys to Keep It From Happening, so I don't have to feel powerless.
I DON'T have to feel powerless - there are ways to gain and utilize power in the world - but it's not by trying to fit explanations I like around events I want to control.
