anyone confirm that something happened at camp david?

From what I have gathered:
United Flight 93 was headed to SF, but was apparently redirect toward Camp David to crash. It didn't make it that far. Whether it was forced down by the pilot to save others or if it was shot down is not clear at this time. It did not reach Camp David.
From www.cnn.com: United Airlines Flight 93 airliner headed from Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco, crashed near Somerset, Pennsylvania -- police said initial reports indicated no survivors. United also confirmed the crash of Flight 175 from Boston to Los Angeles.
