I believe that they are indeed dead, but you said that not a single soul was on the planes. So what exactly happened to the passengers and crews, if they were not on the planes when they crashed?
What is your theory as to where the passengers and crews instead of being on the fateful flights? Your post does not indicate where the passengers and crews were presumed to be.
There may have been no passengers at all. The whole list may have been fabricated. I’ve read that over 100 names that turned up on the list were FBI employees. I’ve read that not one of the single supposed hijackers turned up on the list. It’s possible that some planes were switched during the morning as up to 22 planes were reported to be hijacked under the watch of NORAD who were performing exercise drills at the exact same time.

NORAD might want to save lifes by taking control of a commercial jet away from hijackers.

Oh, they MIGHT. That seals it then, NORAD did it.
Boeing last week received a US patent for a system that, once activated, removes all control from pilots to automatically return a commercial airliner to a predetermined landing location.

what has that got to do with NORAD controlling planes remotely.
I repeat, a pre-determined flight path is NOT remote control.
Planes navigate either by GPS or VOR Beacons that are set on the ground. They fly from one to the other, and these waypoints are often set quite a distance away from each other. Unless the WTC has one sitting on its roof that transmits to civilian airliners, then its not very likely. Why did the planes turn on near imminent impact with the tower? Why did they fly with such precision? Because they were piloted by humans from the cockpit.
Jeez, at one point the 9/11 'truthers' were rambling on about military planes, or military pilots, because of the precision or the fact that some find it hard to beleive that a 'poor middle east' man couldn't possibly turn an aircraft (even when many on this forum have claimed that navigating or performing basic manoeuvres on modern aircraft is like eating ice cream) But now this theory has continue to evolve onto Big evil, smirking five star supreme yada yada, bohemion grove visiting Generals in Norad guiding in the planes through a tv screen.

I'm not saying it dismisses it, I'm asking for you to explain it, and frankly....'the computer switched off before impact' is a load of rubbish.
Yes planes turn by dipping their wings, that is my POINT!, you can see how the plane started to turn just as it was about to hit the tower, the wing damage spanned the whole of the buildings width, this maximised the damage to the building. If the plane was being remotely controlled, it would of had to of been piloted to do so. Entering set co-ordinates in to a FCS does not constitute the remote control of a plane. It's just pre-set route planning.

Not to mention the guy who masterminded it openly acknowledges that they planned and executed the attacks.
Home Run” [not its real code name] allowed specialist ground controllers to listen in to cockpit conversations on the target aircraft, then take absolute control of its computerized flight control system by remote means.
From that point onwards, regardless of the wishes of the hijackers or flight deck crew, the hijacked aircraft could be recovered and landed automatically at an airport of choice, with no more difficulty than flying a radio-controlled model plane. The engineers had no idea that almost thirty years after its initial design, Home Run’s top secret computer codes would be broken, and the system used to facilitate direct ground control of the four aircraft used in the high-profile attacks on New York and Washington on 11th September 2001.
The estimated population of the United States is 303,559,460
so each citizen's share of this debt is $30,030.30.
The National Debt has continued to increase an average of $1.47 billion per day since September 29, 2006! Concerned? Then tell Congress and the White House!
