I remember the pictures. The plane made it to the White House walls:

Startled uniformed Secret Service officers at the White House saw the descending plane at 1:49 a.m. and ducked for
cover. The plane crashed onto the South Lawn of the White House, skidded, slammed through the hedge and clipped the tree
before it hit a wall on the west side of the mansion.
