If we disregard the other meanings and concentrate on the fifth
meaning we find that the word "Shank" is the slang term for
a knife or sharp instrument used for inflicting harm to
the human body. I.e., a weapon.

Shanksville? Why did the plane fly in a straight route until
it reached Cleveland, then does a semi-loop around Cleveland
and crashes in Shanksville?

I can just hear the people back at your "agency" talking about
planning this thing to go your way.  "We gotta make the crash
site mean something."  "Yeah, I agree.  Is there a Crashville
in PA?"  "No."  "Damn."  "How about Splashville?"  "No."  "How
about Corpseville?"  "No."  "How about Infernoville?"  "No...
but there is a Shanksville."  "What does that mean?"  "You
idiot, shank is slang term for knife or sharp instrument used
for inflicting harm to the human body."  "Good.  Great.  Lets
go with it, ditch the plane in Shanksville."  "OK boss."
