How did St Paul's survive the Blitz?

Most (if not all) of the damage in that photo was a result of the Fire Storm or deliberate demolition and not from bombs.

I recall seeing a documentary about the Blitz and there was a concerted effort to ensure that St Pauls survived.

I highly doubt the building was used as sighting guidance, if anything was used, they used the river, which rather handily directs any bomber directly into central London.
