The intended target of United Airlines Flight 93 was most likely the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. Some sources also note the possibility of the White House as a target, but the strongest evidence and testimony, including from key al-Qaeda members and the 9/11 Commission Report, indicate the Capitol as the primary target. The hijackers planned to crash the plane there as part of the 9/11 attacks, but the passengers' courageous attempt to regain control prevented the plane from reaching its target, leading to its crash in Pennsylvania instead. This heroic intervention likely saved many lives on the ground.
