Two planes hit the Twin Towers and one plane hit the Pentagon. The third plane was supposed to hit the White House where Bush was, but due to the heroic actions of the passengers, it crashed in a field in Pennsylvania, giving Bush time to get out of harms way. The rest of the planes in the air at that time were ordered to land at the nearest airport or risk being shot down. The only planes allowed to fly the rest of that day were military or Air Force 1.
