Does anyone know where the hijacked Flight 93 was headed?

I think after a while I just got fatigued with the enormity of the 9/11 attacks, so I haven't done a lot of reading about the downed flight that was headed to D.C., but crashed instead in Shanksville, PA. Has anyone ever figured out what the terrorists were going to fly that airplane into? Was it the White House or the Capitol Building, or was it somewhere else?

Or maybe all of it is just speculation, and they have no idea? I was just thinking maybe they had overheard the terrorists' plans by reviewing the cockpit voice recordings. Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance. :)

    All they have ever said is that it was bound for Washington. There have been suggestions that it was either The White House or the Capitol Building they were headed for.

    What I have always wondered is how long it will take before there is official confirmation that this plane was shot down...and not that it crashed as a result of passengers taking action and allowing it to plunge into the ground in some grand gesture of patriotism and self sacrifice.

    It is obvious that this is what happened..

    It was assumed that Wash,DC was where 93 was headed or Camp David.We will never know for sure because some brave passengers broke into the cockpit to make sure that would not happen.It is safe to think no matter what the terrorist plan was,people died because of it.

    It was originally bound for San Francisco....It is thought that the hijackers wanted to fly it into the White House or the Pentagon. Wherever it was being hijacked to, that answer died with the 4 hijackers and the thirty-seven innocent Americans who perished on it.....

    You bet they have an idea... But it is impossible to get the officials to address serious questions dealing with 09/01/2001 and the aftermath. The official story of what exactly happened on 9/11 is an absolute shame and a lie to any American who can't hide their heads in the sand.

    It was headed to the White House, after GW Bush was informed the country was under attack he sat dumbfounded for almost 20 minutes while the civilians on this plane took action and saved the White House which would have been attacked if it was only protected by GW Bush. Remember he was warned of the 9-11 attack and did NOTHING.
