With the hardened cockpit doors and alert passengers, that will never happen again. The most a terrorist can try for is to time a bomb right so that a plane will go down in a city. But planes mostly avoid flying over high density downtown areas. So you might end up with a neighborhood like Rockaway getting a crash landing, and a handful of people on the ground dying. It's bad, but no where near as bad as WTC going down.
