White House was terrorists’ intended 9/11 target
One half block away.
This same plane, which crashed into nothing but ground, shattered windows hundreds of feet away through the sheer force of it’s impact.

Very lucky. Not for them, ( the passengers and crew ) of course.
When I heard on the news that the Pentagon was hit, I spent a frantic 2 hours trying to reach my brother, who passes through on his way to work. Very scary. Of course, my other worry was the CDC here in Atlanta.

I cannot imagine being one of the people on the highway that circles the pentagon that morning. I drove by a couple weeks later, and there was a gapping hole the size of your average office building. Imagine watching that plane come down at hundreds of miles an hour and plow into the ground next to the Wall.
