Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I witnessed history on September 11th when my mom came to Marlboro Middle School and dissmissed me right away, after she had wittnessed it on the news. When I got home my mom begain to tell me what had happend. I could not believe it. As I turned on The news and watched the towers go down my heart broke. I couldnt understand why someone would do such a thing. As we continued to watch the news I saw the Pentagon and the plane in Pennsylvania. Later that night my parents answered any questions that I had. September 11th was a day of sorrow and tragedy, and that is how I wittnessed it. My life has changed because of september 11th in so many ways. It gave me a hole new perspective on life. It really makes me think about other tragedies that have accurred in America that we take for granted. For example,we have days off from school to honor heros in our country or events that took place, we never really think about what that day really means. I never thought about it until I witnessed September 11th. All in all 9/11/01 was a tradegy and it changed many peoples lives. It brought everyone closer together. America, as a country became closer. What we should remeber most about September 11th is the impact it had on America and how it brought everyone closer together as a nation. Most of all, I think we should never forget the heros that saved so many lives while risking their own. We should also remember the great patriotism that America showed when our country needed it the most!

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was early. I was half-awake/half-asleep in bed (we're 2 hours behind NewYork time). My husband was already up and downstairs watching the stock channel - his morning ritual. All of a sudden I heard pounding on the stairs as all 240 pounds of him ran up the stairs to gasp out what had happened and turn the TV on. I couldn't believe my eyes. It felt as if I was still asleep, dreaming...like watching an Orson Wells movie of the end of the world. I watched the first plane hit the tower(replay) several times before I really understood it was real...and as awful as it was I still didn't fully comprehend how bad or real until I saw "live" the 2nd plane hit the tower....AND even then I realized it was bad, I knew many people would die but as the towers were still standing I also felt that only those where the plane hit would perish...I was so wrong. When those towers went down, my heart sank. And even though I am safe and sound in Boise, Idaho and to my knowledge know noone personally who was killed, I feel as If I do. I felt then and feel now a deep sense of sorrow and a firm resolve to do what I can as a citizen and American to support the full eradication of this evil. It won't be easy, kind or even fair, but this is a cancer that needs to be destroyed or cut out for survival. I've been most affected by the sight of the man and women who held hands as they jumped to their death. I've tried to understand how a decision of that magnitude could be made and what it must have been like up there for them to make it...I'll never forget the sight and I will always see those people holding hands. The rest of the morning and throughout the day I was glued to my TV waiting to see what would happen next and wishing I were in NewYork to help, to do anything. I've also been affected by the the phrase "Let's Roll". What a gift of courage and grace was shown on that flight. I've wondered how I would act in the same circumstance. Would I be brave as they were? Would I think of others before myself as they did? Would I behave with grace and dignity as they did? I believe it's not over yet...we have to stay strong, firm in our efforts and resolve. 5-10 years from now, I wonder where we'll be, what we'll know, what we'll have experienced.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: The weekend before 911 my parents were in NYC staying at the mariott world trade. They were supposed to stay for a week and would have been there on 911 my college classes were starting back up that week and they watch my daughter for me while i was at school. they decided to come back early to watch my daughter for me. on 911 i was at school i had an early morn class and was in the cafe after class was over this girl runs in and yells "A Plane just hit the world trade center" we turned on the Tv and watched i ran to my car and got home as fast as i could. when i turned my car on that was when the second tower was hit i was beginning to get really nervous and anxoius to get home. i just wanted to get home to my daughter who at the time was not even one. if we were under attack i wanted to be with her. Then the Pentagon was hit while i'm still driving. all aircraft was already grounded. but i still saw them in the sky and really began to panic. all unmarked trailer trucks scared me i almost got into lots of accidents trying to get away from them thinking there are bombs in the back. I get home and get my step dad who was sleeping he did not know what was going on. i woke up my daughter from her nap and just held her and cried while watching all this terror unfold. I called my mom because she was in Boston with my grandfather and asked her if hse was ok i told her what happened because they didn't even know they never heard it I told her 2 of the planes faome from Logan and to get out of the city as fast as possible. I"m very grateful in not lossing anyone that day and am more grateful that my step brother has not been shipped out during our War on Terrorism. Today I went to a memorial at our local fire station while my daughter who will be 3 9/17 was at school. We are grateful in our town that noone has been lost. but our hearts and prayers go out to all those who suffered in this tragidy. On 9/13 there is a memorial for a local women who is form the next town frm me who was on one of the flights from Logan airport in Boston. some of her remains were just found and sent home. After 2 years parts of her remains were finally found it was only bone fragments but at least it's something to give the family a tiny bit of Closure. I'm thinking of going to pay my respects I don't know the family but i feel it's part of my duty as an American to pay my respects. God Bless us all. and May God bring these terrorist to Justice Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: As I look back now, it seems like it all just happened yesterday. It was a nice day, bright with a nice temperature to it. I woke up with the normal things on my mine, like the Spanish homework that was due that I didn?t even touch last night. I got to school, and went to my first block, and everything was fine. We did activities in one of my nice teachers classes, and had fun like we always did learning about US History. So after that class I had Spanish. I walked in with the thought of not getting the points I needed for a good grade, but it was only the second week of school, so I?d be okay. Not even ten or fifteen minuets n to the class, another teacher came in and whispered into my teacher?s ear. I didn?t think much of it, but I would fine out that it was actually something that would affect the nation. The teacher turned to the class and with a quiet voice, told us that the world trade center had been hit by a plane and that the pentagon was on fire. Now, needless to say, this information was a little off, but it was still a bit frightening, especially because of the schools close location to Washington D.C. We turned on the TV, along with the rest of the school, to see what was going on. Eventually, the teacher couldn?t take any more and she had to turn it off, for our sake and hers, but after some busy work, all our minds drifted back to what was going on, so we turned the TV back on to find that another plane had hit the second tower. Shortly after, the principal came on to the speaker to tell us to remain calm, and when we were eating lunch, to stay away from the main road in front of the school. That made things a little scary. Now, the bell rang, and walking through that hallway after class is what stands out the most in my mind about 9/11. The sounds didn?t sound right, the voices were all scared and in the back round, people crying could be heard. Immediately the clue to the crying popped into my head?close to half of the student population probably had parents in the pentagon or in the general Washington D.C. area. The rest of the day crept by. Even when the TV was off and we weren?t even talking about it, the events kept popping into our heads every time we heard sirens zooming by the school, or somebody was heard crying in the halls. I saw more worried faces at my school that day then we all had to stay out in the football bleachers for 3 hours because of a bomb threat. When I got home, the TV got turned on and I sat down in front of it. I sat there all night, and I barely had the concentration to talk to my girlfriend, but she was also very much involved in what was going on, so it was mutual. The rest of that week went by, and the weeks after that. But that first walk through the halls still stands out to me. I?m a senior now and these are my hallways. And to think that such a combination of fear?of hate?of confusion?were all in my halls?it?s a very upsetting thought.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I don't remember arriving at school that day. I was in sixth grade. The pricipal came over the intercome and announced that we were not to go out side for recess do to an excess of bees on the playground. A total lie. I noticed my teacher was visably upset and several students were sent home. I didn't learn about what happend until i was walking home with a neighbor of mine who was in the fourth grade. He told me "there was a little war at the Pentagon" his older sister told me that someone had bombed the twin towers and the Pentagon. My cousin was working at the Pentagon at the time and i felt myself begin to go into shock. I raced home to find my mother and sister sitting together in my mothers room in front of the TV. I asked about my counsin, my mother had already called her. She was late to work that day. Then all we, and many americans, could do, was sit in front of the TV in disbelief and fear.

We had gone shopping with our two children and had accidently left our tv on. When we walked in the first tower was on fire and we saw the second plane hit tower two. At first we thought it was a joke but after watching for a few seconds new it wasn't. We were all just stunned. We were so shocked that someone would do this to our country. We sat and just stared at the tv. I started to cry because of all the innocent people lost. My husband just kept staring at the tv. He later told me he was so stunned he just didn't know what to do. We called our family to make sure they were okay. After that we pretty much just watched tv and prayed for all those lost or missing.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at work at Einstein Medical Center when I first heard of the attacks; one of my patients started yelling, "A plane just hit the World Trade Center!" I didn't believe it at first until I saw it on TV for myself and then watched the second plane hit. Feeling numb (and choking back tears)and watching as breaking news that the Pentagon was attacked, I immmediately called my parents, boyfriend and my best friend- I just needed to hear their voices; the Pentagon- I thought nothing could even come close to penetrating the Pentagon. Everyone, including the patients, were silent for the rest of the day. I picked up the last four hours of a friend's 12-hour shift so that she could be with her husband and children. When I got home later that night I just sat on the couch and watched on TV in disbelief of what had happened that day. I couldn't sleep for about two weeks, at times almost feeling guilty for being alive. My best friend and I visited Ground Zero on Nov.14,2001...I just could not believe that the Twin Towers were gone (I hadn't been to the WTC in years). Although I did not know anyone who perished I felt as if I had...they were my fellow Americans.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was Sept. 11, 2001 about 9:15 AM. I getting ready to enter my gifted class with all my friends. They had the TV on CNN and they had two big buildings and one of them was on fire. I regret admitting this, but when I saw it at first, all I thought was oh gosh, not this dumb stuff again, when will these idiotic people stop trying to scare us with their stupid ideas. Then another plane hit the next building. Oh my, I began to really feel scared. I had NO complete idea what was to happen next. Then, the first tower began to fall. I covered my lips with my hands as I saw dust fly and people running and screaming. I was really afraid for my life at that moment. I didn't know what was going to happen to me or my family. Later on we had to go to our next class downtown from Pensacola. We watched as headlines kept repeating, WTC hit by hijacked planes and Pentagon hit as well. I was very shocked, afraid, amazed, everything. I was very, very confused. I didn't actually know what to think. We watched Cnn, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, gosh, all those channels. The only thing my mom remembers me saying when I came home was, "When is my daddy leaving?" My dad is in the Naval Reserves, they call them the Seabees. He had to leave a few weeks later to go to his reserve base for 2 weeks. My father left active duty when I was 8, I'm now 13. He had not been with my family for a while so that's why he left and became a seabee. I know that if my father had been in active duty, I might not have never seen my father again. I just want to let anyone out there who is reading this and they are in the military or has a family member fighting the war that I love you so much. I don't know you or whoever you know who is in the war but I thank God everyday that those men are alive. They are taking the place of my father and they are risking to die for me and my father and everyone in the world. Thank you soo much. GOD BLESS AMERICA! Remember September 11 forever.

Most of which I was really good friends with. I really didn?t understand what they were going through. I felt for them though. I?ve seen so many people talked about and made fun of. I?ve even seen one get beat up. It?s so disturbing to see racism toward that particular race discriminated so much now.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Tuesday was a beautiful morning. It was crisp and cool in my little orchard town in the Commonwealth. I was in second period gym class and we were playing field hockey on the upper field on our campus. I was the goalie for my team and suddenly I was stung by a yellow jacket. I rushed over to my teacher and told her that I had to go to the nurse, because I may have an allergic reaction to the sting. As I walked through the building, things were normal. About five minutes after I entered the nurse's office, the familiar voice of my principal came over the loud-speaker. I couldn't really hear what he was saying because the nurse's intercom was broken. We, in the office thought it had something to do with an airplane and the WTC. Immediately my thoughts panned back to images of that small Cesna that crashed into the White House lawn. A friend and I walked to the main office to inquire what had happened and we were stunned to hear that two jetliners had crashed into each of the WTC towers. My heart sank and I felt very ill and cold. My next class an English class which I shared with seven other seniors. My school building had just been built the last year and so some details had not been completed. One of those little details happened to be setting up the television network to the televisions that had been placed in every room. Needless to say, we had no means of watching the news coverage of the horrific event save a small five inch black and white tv which my teacher kept in her closet. For the next hour my classmates and I sat, our eyes glued to the minute screen and tried to comprehend the smoke, fire, dust, and destruction. Administrators, students, and teachers learned about our tv and soon crowded around it with us. We learned about the Pentagon and about a possible fourth hijack and were horrified as we found that Flight 93 had crashed in our own state. I'll never forget how each one of us in that small classroom had a name of someone they knew that worked in the WTC district or Pentagon, or just friends who lived in Manhattan. We watched as reports of possible car bombs outside the State Department drove our student teacher into a frenzy of panic. Her boyfriend was an intern for the Department of State. It was the sense of not knowing that made the moment horrific. So many questions arose. "Who were the culprits?" "How many were dead?" "Where was the President?" "Were there other targets?" "Who is Osama bin Laden?" (For some, his name meant nothing on September 10, but would soon become common in the English vocabulary.) "Are we safe here?" And the most frightening question, the one that no one could answer: "What happens now?" I remember dashing out emails for my classmates and anyone else who wanted to know the whereabouts of their family and friends. The school's network was flooded and it was very difficult to send messages and move from page to page, but I became the designated news director and kept tabs on about five different webpages. I can still recall the lump in my throat and the diminishing contents of the tissue box sitting nearby. I spent my time while waiting for pages to download by watching the terrifying televised scenes. Before that morning they had only been common to memories of Pearl Harbor and movies like Independence Day. As tears clouded my vision and sobs shook my body, I thought of how much I loved this country. How much I respected the men and women who would fight for it. I thought of the brave souls who ran into the burning hell that terrorists had made for us. I thought about a thousand things in that hour. And I knew in that single moment as Tower One fell in slow motion to her iminent death that I would never love this nation any less than I did in that instant. A team is as strong as its weakest player, and on the morning of September Eleventh, members of the American team became equal and strong and resolute. We will never weaken despite many things that make us doubt our country and our government, ourselves and each other. We are all that each other has, and on a beatiful morning in September, we came to realize just how much really have.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Paul Jerome Croce Box 8274, Stetson University 421 N. Woodland, DeLand, FL 32720 tel: 386-822-7530 fax: 386-822-7268 email: pcroce@stetson.edu Putting the Terrorists on Trial: Make Humiliation, Not War DeLand [Florida] Beacon (September 21, 2001), p. 5A As Americans move from stunned horror to cleanup and preparation for retaliation, we need to make sure we hit the right target. Some fanatic, amoral group has committed mass murder in Lower Manhattan and Northern Virginia. At first we all wanted to know "why?" Now we need to answer "what next?" We know very little about the people who hijacked the planes that became guided missiles directed at our high-profile economic and military establishments and at our national pride. But we can be certain that anyone willing to give up their own life while committing such a crime must have been reckless to a degree few of us can imagine. This is at the heart of the elusiveness of the terrorist threat: not only is the enemy without country and with cooperators dispersed throughout the world, but also they are animated by a reckless outlook that makes them effectively impervious to danger. Recklessness has a power that sheer military power cannot easily conquer. We learned that lesson in Vietnam when American use of staggering firepower could not stop the Vietcong. An elusive, low-tech enemy, especially if highly motivated ideologically can easily slip below radar and inflict terrible wounds, even when not making steps toward military conquest in the conventional sense. If the United States were to use massive military might against the current terrorist threats, the cure would be worse than the disease. Surely, many civilians would be killed; it would not be easy to kill the real enemies; and the next images of destruction would show America as the aggressor on a par in many minds with the terrorists. Worse even than all these moral and political problems, the tactic would be a military failure, because it would encourage still more recklessness. If thousands are killed in various Middle Eastern countries, what would it do to stop a few dozen morally deranged, fanatic hijackers with knives or some other weapon from taking down the Sears tower, the Golden Gate Bridge, or Cinderella's Castle? Although to most Americans these dastardly deeds were a strike out of the blue, to citizens of the Middle East, they are a much more high profile version of daily life. There has been colonial occupation, dictatorship, protracted war, refugee flight, and terrorist fear for generations-often with American support. Indeed, the long-standing Arab-Israeli conflict is at the ideological ground zero motivating these terrorist fanatics. US efforts both to take firm sides and to broker peace have made few strides toward peace, especially toward lessening the cancer of terrorism that infects the Middle East, especially Israel. The enormity of last week's event presents an unprecedented opportunity to break through that deadlock. With the moral authority that comes from being badly bloodied, the US can turn from serving as the helpful broker to being the insistent heavy, demanding settlement that will resolve the impasse. President Bush is fond of using the image of political capital. We now have a rare, precious, and short-lasting outpouring of world emotional capital for doing something dramatic to root out the motivating source of this fanaticism. In this climate, it can even be a no-fault settlement. Without blaming either side, the US with almost every other nation can insist on coming to terms that will pull out the rug from future attempts to recruit suicide pilots. The US can go still further to squeeze some good from all these evil events. Much more effective than massive retaliation would be a massive world court. Now that this horrible deed has focused world attention, an unprecedented worldwide alliance can work together to hunt down these criminals and bring them to justice. Making war on fanatics will simply make them more fanatical. But presenting them in public trial will embarrass them and anyone else who would be tempted to join them. There should be a world court, with prosecutors from many nations, lurid images of their crimes, and publicity bigger than for the Olympics. Better yet, set the court in the Middle East, to make clear that the source of this fanaticism is to be recognized and corrected. If going to court seems like a slight act for such an enormous crime, remember the way the presidential election was settled. For all the follies that came with the post-election election, at least it was a shift in power that came without bloodshed. This is a war for the "hearts and minds" of world citizens, especially for those who might contemplate doing something like this again. This phrase was coined during the Vietnam, when we hypocritically combined it with huge military destruction. This time, we need to kill the terror with humiliation, not more bloodshed to make it really work and help us reestablish our national security on solid ground.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: The first time I heard about the plane crashes on the World Trade Centers was during my third period class at Washington Irving Middle School. I was sitting in civics class with all of my other classmates (I think we were taking notes at the time) when a teacher from the hallway ran in and told us to turn on the television to any local news channel. Our attention quickly turned to the TV as my teacher, Mrs. Gardella turned it on. The first image we all saw was the first tower completely engulfed with flames, and then the news channel played a replay of the plane actually crashing into the building. The classroom was completely silent. I don?t think we all knew if it was real at first; it sure seemed like a joke. I believe the first words that came out of my mouth was ?What?! What?s going on?!? I was a bit confused. Then I realized that they were indeed the Twin Towers in New York; the same towers I?ve seen over and over when we drove by them going up north for various soccer tournaments and trips. When they showed the replay of the huge plane hitting the tower, the room was full of gasps. Nobody could believe it. Could this really be happening to the United States? Before we knew it, they turned the attention over to the Pentagon in Washington DC. They didn?t show the plane hitting the Pentagon, but we saw the live broadcasting of all of the flames and ash rising from the building. Almost immediately, kids in my class began crying with their hands over their mouth in disbelief. I then realized that a lot of the students in this area have families that work in the government; many of them had parents working in the Pentagon. One girl actually got up and ran to the phone that was behind my teacher?s desk. Her dad works at the Pentagon and so she called her mom to see if she knew any instant details. The news channel played the same video over and over again of the plane hitting the towers. She actually turned off the TV which really made me angry. We were forced to stay in the classroom until the principal came on the announcements and told us what to do next. Nobody could stay calm for the rest of the day. I myself wasn?t directly effected by it, but I knew a lot of kids that had family members that worked in the Pentagon or nearby. I couldn?t stand not knowing specific details about the attack; why it happened, was it by accident, and who was behind it. I was very surprised that they kept us in school until regular time. Actually, it made me very furious. Many of these kids needed comfort from their families, and school was not the place to provide such comfort. I didn?t learn answers until later on in the day. A lot of this attack still remains unanswered. Terror levels have been high ever since, and many views on foreign countries have changed. Many people have compared this attack to the attack on Pearl Harbor, but personally, I believe the attacks on the trade centers and the pentagon are more intense, probably because I lived it myself.

One of our more frequent customers came in and said something about there being a crash in the U.S, I didnt take much notice untill I got home some 2hours later. My mum had the television on and was siting on the sofa with her mouth wide open as CNN showed the second plane hitting the twin towers, at first it looked like it was just flying behind it, then the red's, oranges and black filled the screen.

Then as the days went on i came to understand that it wasnt just a dream, that is was innocent people getting killed by other humans with no heart at all. But now i truly understand more than ever and it is a horrible thing because there are so many people out there longing for their loved ones that they have lost!

There was a TV for us to watch, and as we tuned in we were devastated as we watched it live. A day in my lifetime that I never expected to witness. My heart went out to all of the ones who were lost in these attacks as well as to their family and friends. I lost a teenage daughter in a tragic car accident so I know the meaning of un-prepared, un-expected, sudden loss of a love one. These heros will be in my heart and prayers for the rest of my life here on earth. Out of every thing bad, good does happen. Americans have banned together to be stronger than ever, and I believe our young people have a renewed respect for our country.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was just another day with the same routine ahead of me, at least, so I thought. After first period I went to my locker and got my books to go to Global Studies with Mrs. Capen. All that week and the week before we had been learning about the Taliban government that was ruling Afghanistan. It was about 8:50a.m and another teacher came into our classroom and told Mrs. Capen to turn the T.V monitor in our room on to the CNN news channel because there was something big happening. At first it didn?t seem real as we sat there watching worldwide news broadcast showing an attack on our country, it just couldn?t be happening to our country. I just tried to keep telling my self that it was only an accident but the more and more I watched the more I knew that it wasn?t. Sitting there, staring in complete silence, the only noise was coming from the T.V with the news broadcasters telling the country of the tragic event that we know all know as September 11th. A strange, horrible feeling of horror filled the classroom 208. Everyone sat there in shock as we saw the second plane hit the second tower. I got a dizzy feeling; my heart was pounding out of fear and rage for my country. There was a hard feeling in my chest making it hard to breathe. For the rest of the day, I was terrified. My older sister Kristen is in the Army and all I could think was that she was going to war. Not only that but she had been sent to New York City to work with people in the World Trade towers a week before and I was terrified that she was in there when they were attacked. Later I went to the office and used the phone to call my mom to see how my sister was and they had finally gotten a hold of her but it was hard because of all the satellite air traffic from the use of all the cellular phones. By 7th period I was so outraged that I couldn?t handle going to my earth science class with Mr. Goldpenny so I sat at my locker to calm down as I cried from fear and anger for my countries freedom and the lives of the people. I was scared, I was mad and I felt so sorry for everyone in those towers, the planes and the families that lost a loved one in the attack. As I was sitting at my locker Troy Langendorfer who is one of my best friends came down and sat with me. He put his arm around me and gave me a hug to try and calm me down, luckily it worked. This attack brought people closer together than before, people gathered together to cope with their losses, to help clean up, and just over all uniting as a people. People began respecting their country and their neighbors, and realizing just how good we have it in our country. Our ally and neighboring country Canada even began to hang the United States flag out to show support for our country. This is definitely something that will never be forgotten, much like the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was answering the phones that morning. Our small private school day had just started, and most of the Administrators and staff were in the main office. I answered a call around 8:30. It was my adult daughter who said, "Mom, two planes have just crashed into the World Trade Center Towers!" I said, "Monica, oh Monica, what are you saying? What has happened???" Because my daughter was at that time eight months pregnant, everyone standing there was immediately alert. I am sure their first thoughts were of my daughter and the baby. She repeated the news, and I turned to those in the office and told them what she had said. Of course, all of us were stunned and speechless. At that point terrorism was only speculation but fairly strong speculation. Suddenly everyone began moving, looking for something to do--but what does one do!?! Within minutes we began receiving non-stop calls and fielding parental concerns. One mother even brought a television to the office for us to follow the story. Somehow, I was the one answering the phone most of the morning, and somehow I was able to speak coherently to try to reassure parents that their children were safe with us. Later that morning the Administrators made the older students (above fourth grade) and the staff aware of the situation, and an excellent letter was prepared to send home with all students that day. My grieving came today. I guess because I did not have time to process it September 11, 2001. It took a year for it to "hit" me. May we never forget what evil men can do!!!

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was stunned. When the second plane hit, you just knew it was no accident, but deliberate. I immediately called my best friend, a North Carolina girl born and bred. We both cried as the Towers came tumbling down before our eyes, taking all those people with them, even though we didn't know a single person there. I knew how very big the towers were and how many people they could hold because I'd been there on class trips from school. I have to say, I was very relieved that the death toll wasn't higher. It truly could have been so much worse, although not for those that lost loved ones. They are still gone. A former member of our church was living in NYC when the planes hit and she saw it happen while she was on her way to work. She has since moved back home. I grew up in Monmouth County, NJ. My Girl Scout leaders' house was on the highest point in the county. After our meetings were over each week, we'd go sit out front and watch the glitter of the welders torches. It went on for so long it became a ritual. When the Trade Center was done, we would still go out and just look at it because it was so magnificent. To a bunch of teenage girls, it looked indestructable. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My September 11th began by performing some small tasks around the neuroscience lab I work in at Indiana University. I had just completed my work for the morning when I overheard someone saying there was a fire at the Pentagon. Not really understanding fully what this meant, I left the building for my first class of the day. As I made my way to class I had to pass through the student union building. Inside, I could hardly believe the number of people huddled around two free-standing televisions in a popular study area. Just after someone told me what happened, the first tower crumbled to the ground. I can only say I was shocked. I remember making my way to class, but not really being present in mind. After I got back to the union, I heard about the plane crashing outside of Pittsburgh. That is the point at which I became an emotional mess on that day. My parents live outside of Pittsburgh, and the news was not specific as to how far from Pittsburgh the plane crashed. After making frantic phone calls to my father at work (I found out later he was sent home), and being unable to get through to my mother and sister, I made my way to my apartment. The lab I had that afternoon was of no concern. Phone call after phone call was left until I finally reached the answering machine for a quick, teary message. At this point I was worrying about all of the people I know who could have been hurt. A friend was doing an internship in DC and another friend's father works in Manhattan not far from the WTC. My cousin who is a flight attendant for United and who used to be based out of Boston. My uncle and cousin in Boston who fly all the time for business. My aunt who travels to and from California for seminars often. After tallying these people, I promptly ran to the bathroom to 'pray to the porcelain god.' So many loved ones could be hurt, and there was nothing I could do. To say it will be a day I never forget would be an understatement. And it should be a day no one forgets. The fact that these people I have listed COULD have been killed is what made this horrible event even more jarring. From that day forth my awareness of just how easily loved ones can be taken from us increased exponentially. To me the lasting message is to reach out and tell your loved ones that you care about them in words and actions NOW, before life's fragile walls crumble around you.
