At first, initial news reports belied it may have been heading to camp David in the mountains of Maryland because it was a key target and was very close to the crash site. Other belied it was heading to the White House or The Capitol Building in Washington because of their importance. At that time President Bush was not at either of the two sites.
After a long investigating, a comsioned report said it may have been heading for its initial destination, San Fransisco because of the amount of fuel in the tanks, but it would have had that much anyway because that was where it was heading in the first place.
If it had flew west their might have been a few possible crash sites:
San Fransisco- Golden Gate Bridge, Financial District, Bank of America Building, Transamerica Pyramid.
Las Vegas- The strip
The Hover Dam
Los Angeles- LAX, City Hall, Staples Centre, Hollywood, Financial District.
So, the most likely target was the CAPITOL BUILDING or CAPITOL GARDENS in Washington because it would have been packed with evacuated journalists and important goverment people. Not the White House because there was no-one of major authority or importance there like the President.

What were the after effects from the attack of September 11?
almost 3,000 people were killed, not only because the tower, which fell down and not over, but they also died from the toxic gases that they breathed in. A lot of firemen, police, and workers in the twin tower also died because the firemen were trying to help the workers get out the bulding,same thing with the policemen, and the workers died because some people didn't get out on time, and the firemen and policemen did the same thing because they were trying to get the workers out the building, but they were too late because one of the twin towers was already coming down, so it was too late, and that twin tower that was coming down, they were in it, everybody was running holding their noses and covering their mouths so they made sure they weren't breathing in the toxic gases that could kill them, so almost 3,000 people were killed and some of those people were only hurt, from that day on 9/11 has been the anniversary of the dear missed firemen,policeme,and workers.9/11 was one of the worst days in America's whole history.

What resulted from the September 11 terrorist attack?
The war on terrorism began, and the President started sending alot of the troops to the Middle East.
it landed in the world trade center (twin towers in new york city)
Seriously bro? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
No, they landed off the shores of the Florida Keys. At least, that's where the wreckage was found in 1991. All 5 planes were intact.
Terrorist fanatics under the leadership and direction of Osama bin Ladin. Terrorists attacked the 4 airplanes, two of the planes were crashed into the twin towers, the next plane craned into the Pentagon and the 4th plane crashed into a empty field.
How is September 11 2001 fake?
To put it quite bluntly, the lack of two tall towers on Manhattan Island and death of over 2500 people on one day within the area occupied by those towers should clearly tell you that September 11, 2001, is not at all fake.

What happened event on September?
On September 11th, 2001, planes hit the twin towers and the pentagon.
4 planes were hijacked 2 crashed into the world trade centers one crashed into the pentagon and the other failed to reach its destination and crashed in a field in Pennsylvania after civilians on board attacked the terrorists.
Why did the third plane on September 11 hit the pentagon?
Because the Al-Qaeda terrorists who hijacked the plane, took the controls and intentionally flew the commercial passenger jet into the Pentagon because it is the Headquarters for the U.S. Department of Defense. The hijackers intended to strike a blow at, or even cripple America's military, and hit key targets that represented America's strength world-wide. It is likely that the terrorists also wanted to instill fear in Americans by showing that they could be hit, even at such an allegedly secure facility.
How fast was flight 93 going before it crashed?

Why is the September 11 site called Ground Zero?
The term 'ground zero' only has one meaning: the point on the earth's surface closest to a nuclear detonation. The area where the Twin Towers used to stand is called 'ground zero' precisely for this reason.
