where was flight 93 supposed to hit

United Airlines Flight 93 was intended to hit a significant federal government building in Washington, D.C. The most widely believed and supported target was the United States Capitol Building. There is also some indication that the White House was considered a possible target as an alternative to the Capitol, but the evidence points more strongly toward the Capitol as the intended target. The passengers' revolt prevented the hijackers from reaching the target, and the plane crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania instead.
