Why didn't the plane hit the White House?
It was believed that the fourth plane was heading for the White House, but there is no definite proof that it was. It is only a theory that it was supposed to crash into the White House.
The plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Nobody knows why it crashed exactly, but there are theories:
- The terrorists lost control of the plane and crashed
- The passengers and crew fought back against the terrorists and either lost control themselves or forced the terrorists to crash to stop the plane being retaken
- Conspiracy theorists claim it was shot down by the USAF. There is no evidence to support this (ie there are no debris from air-to-air missiles at the crash scene).

Why do they call the white house the white house?
I just finished a guided tour of the White House today, where it was explained that the exterior walls were constructed of sandstone quarried from Aquia Creek quarry in Stafford VA.

The name "White House" did not become official until Theodore Roosevelt issued an executive order in 1901, although there are many references to "the White House" that predate the war of 1812.
The British did not burn the White house until 1814 in retaliation for some buildings burned by American troops in Canada during the war of 1812.
Although it was not completed until a few years after the presidency of George Washington, it has been speculated that the "President's Palace", "President's Mansion", or "President's House" as it was originally referred to was named after Martha Washington's father's home "White House Plantation" where the first president and Martha had courted.
