Imagining a scenario where a brave passenger overcomes the crazed kamikaze pilot flying his Cessna 340 to stop him from crashing in the General Mills parking lot and merely delaying the delivery of a load of Cinnamon Toast Crunch doesn't sound like much of a magic power. Occam's Razor doesn't even begin to scratch the surface on this one. Particularly considering how many other ways you could actually, and more effectively shut down a food processing plant.

"Another factor investigators will look at is the human factor. Investigators said the owner of the aircraft was being trained by a pilot trainer at the time of the crash. They were performing touch-and-go exercises. "
So they had done a series of touch-and -gos. A touch-and-go is when you touch down, quickly reconfigure for takeoff, and then takeoff again without stopping so you can do as many landings as possible for practice. Again, does it make sense that after practicing landings for a while one of the pilots decides to torpedo the Captain Crunch factory?
Additionally:
"Captain Ken Malcom with the Covington Police Department said around 6:46 p.m. a twin-engine Cessna appeared to start having engine trouble. Witnesses told police it traveled northeast, but appeared to be having trouble gaining altitude and was making unusual engine noises. Malcom said the plane then veered right and came straight down."
Classic Vmc roll as I said. Here's a video showing exactly that. You can hear one of the engines struggling, the nose starts sliding to the dead engine, and once you exceed the critical angle of attack on the rudder, it snap rolls nose down. Have we gotten rid of some of the "ambiguity" for you?
