I don't think that a a passenger airplane crashed into Hoover Dam would even leave a dent.

Yeah, you are probably right. It occurred to me, tho, that just hitting the power grid on the top of the hills on the Nevada side would cause havoc throughout Nevada and Calif.
Assuming Las Vegas was the target, just a crash landing on the strip, even without hitting a major hotel, would shut the town down for months. Terror would trump tourism!

Finding Hoover Dam from an airliner would be harder than most people think. Then add the fact that the dam is in a stretch of canyon barely wide enough to fit an airliner to begin with, I doubt it would be a target.
Not with airplanes anyway. Much easier to find the strip.
