They did not pass the Pentagon, nor the tower at Reagan. They flew on a path roughly along Interstate 66, which would pass well north of the Pentagon and Reagan. As you point out, if their target were the Capitol, that would have been easy to hit. If their target were the Pentagon, they would have flown further south. The likeliest target was the White House.

Their secondary target was the Pentagon. Why should I not believe the ATC? There are day to day blips with the economy.
