On 9/11 terrorists apparently avoided the largest, most significant and symbolic target in Washington, the Capitol Building, and somehow decided to crash into a narrow wedge of the Pentagon, where they were looking for Rumsfeld's missing $2.3 trillion dollars.
The Shanksville PA plane wasn't intended for a field in Shanksville PA. It was headed for the Capitol.
They wanted to take out the seats of power: economic (WTC), military (Pentagon), and govt (Capitol)
Interestingly (and fortunately), bin Laden had nixed the original plan of 10 planes, which would have included LA and the Sears Tower in Chicago, because of overly complicated logistics.
EDIT: If only downvotes could change basic facts...LOL
If a missile strikes DC and takes out Congress, I think we’ll be in either a Designated Survivor or martial law situation.
We should be so incredibly lucky

There was no flight 93.
The 9/11 report claimed it was headed for the white house.
Bin laden? Bro, I thought you were a hip.
debatable...>.>;
Missile is the metaphor. What actually does it is SCOTUS ruling and military. At least, that’s the idea.
I don't trust the SCROTUS.
Me either. But I hope military is pulling their strings.
Works for me!
Tom Clancy scenario.
I get the gist of the designated survivor, but how is that person chosen? Who knows who that person is? Is it rotating? So many questions.
