With prior knowledge of the event and 2 weeks head start? You could do so much including the drastic actions that would result in less lives lost.

If you're going by the comic, you only have 1 day. 18 and a half years for Covid, though.

We had tin foil hat people back then too, people aren’t going to believe you

If you're a time traveller you could build up credibility with other things too. Start contacting a journalist with predictions of future headlines. Go back to October 2000 and say what's going to happen with Bush v. Gore. Then in like July 2001 meet up with them, explain that you're a time traveller which is how you know this, and show them the video.

some of the crazies will follow you, but you’re still not getting anywhere

Fewer*

But what could you do without throwing your life away? Basically you would have to hijack a plane to increase security. Regular appeals by a person claiming to be a time traveler... might not be taken seriously.

You could potentially find the residences of the hijackers and just murder them.

IDK, 1 day is prob insufficient for finding and neutralizing unless you're Liam Nissan, John Dick, or Katie Holmes.

I always take time travelers seriously...

Hijacking a plane wouldn't be enough. Plane highjackings were nothing new. They were even common back in the 60's. Conventional wisdom was you cooperate with the highjackers. They have to land eventually.

Nobody anticipated suicide highjackers.

Fewer*

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/less

The traditional view is that less applies to matters of degree, value, or amount and modifies collective nouns, mass nouns, or nouns denoting an abstract whole while fewer applies to matters of number and modifies plural nouns. Less has been used to modify plural nouns since the days of King Alfred and the usage, though roundly decried, appears to be increasing.
