I agree that they were probably aiming for the White House - and am surprised they did not go for the Capitol building. I live in the DC metro area, and realize how small the White House is, and how similar it looks to nearby buildings, except for the famous porticos, which probably can't be seen from above.

The Capitol Dome is very distinctive, but also not that large. A direct hit would have destroyed it completely.

The Pentagon is huge, and very massive. The hole made by the plane is actually quite narrow - the damage to the outside is mostly smoke damage. When you look at the other sides of the building they look exactly the same as always.
