Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Text from e-mail I wrote to family and friends on Thursday, September 13. As you all should know by now, I was able to narrowly escape the tragedy that unfolded before my eyes at the World Trade Center this past Tuesday. This has been my first opportunity to check my e-mail since the disaster happened and I am touched that so many people were concerned about my safety and wellbeing. Fortunately, many in the family did not know at the time that I was doing an internship in the World Trade Center; this proved to be a blessing as I'm sure more would have been concerned had they known that I was working directly at ground zero that day. I normally attended my internship at the World Trade Center on Wedensdays and Fridays. However, this Tuesday my boss asked me to come in for 9 a.m. to do some work as I had asked for the rest of the week off in order to go to D.C. to take the written section of the Foreign Service Exam. On Tuesday morning I initially got on the wrong train into Manhattan and because of this I was about 15 minutes behind schedule as I arrived at the subway stop for the World Trade Center - almost exactly at 9 am. As I climbed out of the subway I noticed everyone craning there necks upwards and as I looked up I saw the side of the North Tower on fire. Unbeknownst to me at the time, this was only a few minutes after the first American flight had crashed into the North Tower. (For those of you who know New York City, at this point I was standing on the corner of Fulton and Broadway, only two blocks from the World Trade Center.) At first I had no idea what had happened. Then a few bystanders explained that a 'small' plane had hit the building. I didn't believe them because I didn't think it was possible. No one is supposed to fly even near those buildings. As I watched the fire got worse. Sirens wailed and yet I wondered how the firecrews could possibly get up that high to do anything. The fire began to spread more and more quickly and I soon realized that this would be catastrophic. Parts of the building started to fall off and then the worst thing I have ever seen in my entire life, people jumping, one by one, you could seem them clearly, dressed in their business suits, falling and jumping from so high up, flailing their arms, clearly still alive, yet falling, it seemed almost like they were floating because they were so high up and it took them so long to fall. Everyone on the street felt so helpless but there was nothing that we could do. I saw at least 20 people jump. Then suddenly, an unbelievable explosion that shook the street and everything around us. I was looking right at the North and South Towers when it happened. The United plane came from a northernly direction but we were standing to the southeast of the Towers, and so we didn't see the plane coming at all; from our vantage point it came from directly behind the South Tower. Suddenly the plane impacted; we had heard no warning, no sound of jet engines, nothing. I don't know if this was because of other noise going on around us or due to some other as yet unexplained reason, but the fact of the matter is we had no warning. As soon as the plane hit there was an explosion like nothing I have ever seen and we all took off running. It was complete chaos. I was worried about flying shrapnel or other debris landing on me. There was complete chaos as everyone ran northwards past City Hall. At this point I believed that it was a bomb that had just exploded and I was concerned about possible chemical or biological agents in the air. As I was frantically running, out of sheer coincidence I saw a friend of mine who also works in the World Trade Center. She was running hysterically and I grabbed her and we both ran into a building to try to look for shelter and a phone. No cellular phones were working anywhere in the city at this point and everyone was frantically trying to get in touch with family or friends. I managed to get one quick call through to my grandparents house in St.Croix to let them know that I was okay. That was the only call that I could make. My friend and I then went outside and we saw thousands of people streaming across the Brooklyn Bridge into Brooklyn from Manhattan. I thought that there were too many people on the bridge and that if there had been a bomb placed in the World Trade Center then surely there might be one on the Brooklyn Bridge. I decided that I would not cross. I repeatedly tried dialing different numbers on my friend's cell phone but none of the calls would go through. Suddenly, I got through to my friend in Miami and he told me what I couldn't believe: that it had been planes that had been flown into the World Trade Center. This is all he could tell me before the call got disconnected. The friend that I had been with all this time, who I had literally run into while fleeing the carnage a few minutes before, decided that she would try to get uptown to look for some people that she knew. She left and I walked northwards and then westwards, all the while watching the twin towers and wondering if it would even be possible to put the fires out. I got near the West Side Highway and continued to watch along with hundreds of other onlookers. I asked a guy next to me if he knew what exactly had happened. He left for a few minutes, somehow managed to make a call, and then came back to me and whispered, "they just attacked the Pentagon." I asked in disbelief, "What??!!" He repeated himself and then added, "No one knows yet and don't tell them, they'll panic even more." As I stood there in disbelief the fire began to reach it's apex and I saw three more people jump from the upper stories. Then, the sight that no one could ever imagine, what I still can't believe, the South Tower crashing down right before my eyes. Panic again as everyone rushed further uptown, everyone desperately trying to find a way out of Manhattan, but the bridges clogged, subways shut down, and buses not functioning. I ran uptown a few more blocks to what I felt was a safe distance and then headed eastwards, again parallel to the Towers yet now a much safer distance away, perhaps 10 blocks or so north. I knew Tower 2 had just collapsed and I could see that the upper half of Tower 1 was almost completely engulfed in flames, but I never thought that it too would fall. And then it did, just toppling over on top of itself. It was the final unbelievable culmination of an utterly unreal day. I didn't know where to go and I wandered around for some time, the streets filled with desperate people, all distraught and dazed in disbelief. Then I stepped inside a nearby bar and found that it was packed even though it was not yet even 11 in the morning. Everyone, people from every part of the city and every profession, were glued to the news aghast at what they were seeing. Drinks were flying off the shelves as people struggled to find something to soften the harsh realization that this was real, this had happened, this was not a movie, and there was no rewinding the footage and starting over. I appreciate the concern that all of you had and I'm grateful that none of you were in New York City and near the disaster. This has changed everyone everywhere forever and no words will ever be able to convey what happened or how it will affect all of us. Only time will tell. Love, Julian.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My husband and I usually get a ride to work. That day, we took the subway together. As he kissed me goodbye at his station, I thought how lucky I am, I love him so much. I remember praying that everyone in that subway car should have a wonderful day. I was so happy. It was a beautiful day. I always have my camera with me, amatuer photographer and I wanted to take picture on Lispenard Street. When I got out of the subway on Canal Street I heard this loud noise, but thought nothing of it. I'm a typical New Yorker. When I got to the corner, people were running to stand there. I asked this young man what had happened and he turned to me with these large eyes and said in disbelief that a plane had crashed into the Twin Towers. I started shooting. I ran to the next corner and starting shooting again, as I looked through my view finder, the second tower exploded. We were north of the buildings and didn't know it was the second plane. I knew I had to call my husband. I found a payphone and I told him I would call him when I got to my office (about 6 blocks from the Trade Center). Once I hung up, I started photographing the people around me. One man said to me that this was no accident. Two co workers approached me and said that our building (388 Greenwich Street) had been evacuated. We started to make our way uptown and I tried several payphones without success to reach my husband again. We walked to my co-workers apartment on Bleecker street where I called my mom and sister. Back out on the street I started to walk uptown on 6th Avenue. A woman bus driver on 14th Street was screaming to everyone to get on her bus. We all climbed on and she barreled up 6th. We stopped once at 23rd street to block traffic to let another bus load passengers. A Coca Cola truck stopped to pick up a young lady in a suit with a briefcase and no shoes. They just lifted her up and put her in the truck. We were on 23rd street. Then the first tower fell. Everyone started screaming and crying. I never felt so vunerable. I don't remember the rest of the bus ride to 46 Street but I do remember passengers sharing cell phone (they didn't work), passing out tissues and consoling each other. When I got to my husband building, the US Trust Building on 47th Street, I could barely speak. I made the security guard Tom,. call him to tell him I was on my way up. When I reached him, I jsut started crying. Once I calmed down, I started calling everyone I knew to let them know we were safe and to see if they were. We walked uptown to our apartment on 83 Street and York Avenue many hours later. We walked through Central Park, passed the sail boat pond where there were children playing and ducks swimming. It was as if nothing happened. The city was deathly quite except for the sound of the fighter jets flying above our heads. All of my family and friends are safe. I thank God everyday. Be well. Be strong. God Bless America. Barbara & Hans Kobelt New York City 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: I had awakened and turned on the television, while preparing to leave for work in San Jose, and already, one plane had just hit the first World Trade Center. I thought to myself 'What a horrible tragic accident!' As I was commuting on my train to San Jose, I was paged, and I knew that it was from my mother, probably wanting to let me know about the plane hitting the WTC. I returned her call once I got into my office. And she asked if I had heard, and I said, yes, it's terrible. She then stunned me with the news that both towers were down. I could't comprehend what she was saying. A second plane had slammed into the other tower,she said. I just still could not understand. I even said, that's impossible! How could those towers come down?! She kept repeating this a few times, til I realized the World Trade Centers were actually gone... Afterward, I came out to discuss this with some of my coworkers, who had heard all of this already. I was shocked, and then remarked, what about the San Jose Airport, our building was directly under the final approach to the airport. You could look up and practically touch the planes approaching the runway. Of course, they then told me that all planes had been grounded in the United States. It then hit me, that this was a major event occurring in our lives. My job at the time was as a customer service representative for a major utility company and I was working at its call center in San Jose, the calls just stopped coming in. Our customers' lives had also come to a standstill. Periodically, I would enter the break room and quietly watched the TV and all the unfolding horrors. There then a company announcement to all of us that the FAA reported that one more jet airliner was making it's way to the San Jose Airport and to assure us that all safety precautions were being taken; that this plane was being escorted by our Air Force. It was approaching in 20 minutes and that to be aware the situation was under control. I had emailed a few co workers in other cities in Northern California, and we basically formed a comfort zone with our emails to each other. It helped us through a very long sad workday. My trip home on the train, was one of much reflection, heartbroken, and sad. Saying prayers to help those who were in desperate need of it, I just wanted to go home, be with my family and wonder how in the world, when the sun rose again, were we to carry on...

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11 is my parents anniversay. they were married on that day in 1954!. I went to work and heard the news first at the hospital while I was on the way to the clinic. Details were very fuzzy....but by the time I reached the clinic nearby, the second plane was hitting the WTC. I felt an overwhelming sense to be with my children, even though we were miles away from the attacks. I couldn't believe the creuely and inhumane acts perpetrated by the terrorists in the name of religion. What a lame excuse! We went to my parents that evening and had a very quiet solemn celebration while trying to peace all that madness together. It changed the way we view our lives. I had always felt that life was precious but since that date, I understood how transient things can be. My daughters were 7 years old. One daughter drew a picture of herself running away from the burning WTC. The other daughter said "those people had evilness in their hearts". I felt saddened because I feel my daughters were robbed of some of their innocence. Even sadder for mankind who cannot seem to learn that there is no spiritual advancement by creating or contributing to atrocities against your fellow man.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11,2001 started out just like any normal day to everyone in the medical records department of Toccoa Clinic in my hometown of Toccoa, Georgia. I remember I walked into the records room not expecting anything unusual to happen. We had a small boombox radio sitting on a shelf above the counter. I had just come back from one of the other departments, and when I walked in my entire department was gathered around that small boombox. I asked them what was going on. One of them said that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. I was astonished, but the thought of it being a terroristic act didn't cross my mind. I just thought it was probably an accident. Maybe the pilot had passed out or something. Anything could have caused that. When the second plane hit, we knew this was no accident. Then we heard about the plane hitting the Pentagon. Complete fear and silence overwhelmed our entire department. We went across the hall into our breakroom, which had a tiny black and white fuzzy television. There were about 20 of us gathered around that small television. Our work just came to a halt. One lady who worked with me almost had a panic attack when the rumor came that they were about to bomb the entire city of Washington D.C. Her sister was employed there, so she ran out to go home to be with her family. Luckily, our American heroes stopped them just in time. Another girl in our department had a fit also when they closed down the entire city of Atlanta, because her newlywed husband was working on a building in Atlanta. I remember all day long, on tv, they showed the planes crashing into the towers over and over again. All I could think of was how many lives were lost, how many unsuspecting people on a normal business day lost their lives just by going to work. Today, I'm constantly reminded of the heroes of 9/11, the policemen, the brave employees who lost their lives getting other coworkers out of the building, and of the firefighters. My husband is a volunteer firefighter and I pray everyday that he will never get a call that will take his life. Being a newlywed and an expectant mother, my heart especially goes out to those women who were pregnant and who had their babies without the father present. My heart goes out to everyone who lost a mother, a father, a husband, a wife, a son, a daughter, or a friend. 9/11 is a day we will never forget, and it will always be in our minds and our hearts 10, 15, and even 100 years from now. It will be in our children's history books. Just as I asked my great grandmother what she remembers about the sinking of the Titanic, I know the day will come when my grandchildren will ask me of my memories of 9/11. I will be anxious to tell them that it was the one day and the one event that brought a nation that was slowly being torn apart together.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My principal Sue, hardly ever interrupts our class by knocking on the door. So, on the morning of September 11th while I was teaching religion class in my second grade classroom, I was surprised to see Sue at the door to my classroom. She asked me to come out into the hallway. I automatically began to think to myself, "Which parent is upset and why, or did something happen to my family?" All kinds of things were going through my head. I told my second graders to read the next page quietly to themselves, and went out to talk to Sue. She told me that a plane had flown into the World Trade Center in New York City. I thought it must have been a small plane that had somehow got off course and had an accident. Sue told me that it was actually a passenger plane and many people were dead. But we both believed that it was just an accident. At the time, the second plane hadn't hit the other building yet. Images flashed through my mind of when I had visited New York just a few years before for a teacher's conference, and one of our stops was the World Trade Center. I searched my mind for the faces that I had seen working in those buildings and wondered if they were OK. Sue told me not to tell the children yet until we had more information. I went back in the classroom where we said a Hail Mary as a class and went back to work. After dropping the kids off at art about an hour later, I went up to the teacher's lounge to watch the TV that a teacher's aide had brought in. We now knew that our country was under attack. I sat there in shock. Many people were crying and worried about people they knew who were flying that day. We all were thinking about what to tell the students. Parents were calling in and somewhat in a panic. We agreed as a staff that it would be best if we would proceed through the day as normally as we could, and at 1:00 our other principal Greg, would come on the intercom and let our students know what had happened in our country. We would then pray the Rosary together as a school. It was a powerful time. My own students really did not understand what was happening. Two of them did have parents who were on business in New York City. I had them call home to make sure that everything was OK. Because this wasn't happening directly to them here in Kansas City, it was difficult for them to comprehend. One year later, we are doing several activities in the classrooms designed to honor the true heroes in our country and to celebrate how fortunate we are to live in such a wonderful country. I still think about the people who had to endure the terror firsthand on that day. My faith has grown stronger since this tragedy happened. I hope that as Americans we may remember what it takes to be true heroes in this world for the short time that we live here.

I was wearing a black and purple shirt that said Rebel on the front, and some blue flares. I was trying to figure out the math problem on the board, when I saw my history teacher walk in, whispering into my math teacher's ear. She just turned pale, and told us, and I started to cry. I cried because my sister and cousins and brother-in-law and aunts and uncles live in New York, and I didn't know where they were so I was freaked out. They were all okay though.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11, 2001, I had taken the day off to be at home in my own grief. My oldest son was killed on September 11, 1996. I never watch television, but on this sad day for me, I found myself pouring another cup of coffee and bringing it into the bedroom and turning on the TV. Not five minutes later, I watched in horror as the events began to unfold. I cannot explain what this did to me, but I was shaking uncontrollably, crying....not only for my own loss, but to know that now so many others will mourn the loss of their own children and loved ones. It is a pain that no one should have to know. The anniversary of my son's death is now shared by so many in our country. As was my son's death, the deaths on 9/11/01 were senseless and at the hands of others. My heart goes out to each and every person who has lost a loved one. It never gets any easier, the pain never goes away. It just gets "different" 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: I did not find out about the attacks until I got to my first period class. No one in my zero hour class had known. I got to my class and everyone in the room next to us was watching TV. I went into our room and no one was there. A few minutes later the teacher walked in, and she asked me what I was doing. I told her I was just sitting and I asked where everyone was. She told me that they were watching the news. I asked her what they were watching and she said, don't you know what happened? No, I said back, I was so confused. Kristen, she said, two planes flew into the world trade center. She brought me into the room next door so I could watch the news with everyone else. We all just sat there and didn't say anything. There was nothing to say. We watched as both collapsed. We had two TVs in the room so we were watching two different channels and got to listen two newscasters. I eventually had to go to my next class in which we took a test and were listening to the news on the radio. Basically all day we listened to the news in our classes. Most teachers didn't teach anything new and many of them knew people that worked at the world trade center so they were really worried. Through out the day, my battery on my cell phone was dead, so I could not call my parents, but I knew that we know people that live in New York. My dad's best friend works across the street from where the trade centers were and luckily he was late to work that day. He got there right after the second plane hit. Other than that, I feel that the attacks didn't affect me as much as they affected people I know.

Tell us your story: I was working at a supermarket at the time, in the office, when one of my co-workers came up front and said that a plane had just hit one of the towers. At the time we were all just thinking that it was some kind of freak accident or something. It never occured to any of us that it was the work of terrorists until we heard that a second plane had hit the other tower and then the pentagon as well, then we were all really shaken. You didn't know where the next attack would be and when, or if there would be no more. It was just an unbelievable, unreal event to witness and i hope that it is something this country never has to live through again.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was on my way to a morning class at Mississippi State University. I turned on the radio and heard something about planes crashing into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. I thought it was a huge accident, but I was terribly wrong. After arriving at school, several students were huddled around the television watching in disbelief. About an hour later I watched one tower after the other collapse. It was like watching something in a movie. It just did not look real. The next several hours I was filled with great anxiety and sadness. I went in my room and cried later that evening. I felt a great amount of guilt for what had happened and tried to put myself in the shoes of the victims and their thoughts. Just a few years ago I visited the World Trade Center. After the tragedy I put the picture up on my refrigerator to remember those who were lost. They paid the ultimated price so that we may tighten up the security and safety of our country. May God bless the victims as well as their families. 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: I walked in to my Government/Economics class and began to laugh with my friends like we had always done. I went to my desk quietly and sat down. My teacher Mr.Nuss had turned on CNN. Then as I looked up at the T.V. they anounced that a hi-jacked plane had been run into one of the World Trade Center towers. I was in shock. Then I saw something that had completely shattered me. I saw the second plane hit and the third that hit the pentagon. I couldn't beleave my eyes. I tried to collect my thoughts but I was just to frantic. For the rest of school I could not concentrate at all. I went to my boyfriends house right after school and told him that I was scared. It made say to myself what did we do to the terrorists that made them do such a thing to all of those innocent people? I tossed and turned all night and could not sleep at all. From that day forward I had been forever changed. I wrote this poem today on the 1 year anniversery: America's Day of terror Do you remember, that day in september? The terrorists were jealous of what we had, so they killed all those people and didn't even feel bad. They will pay, for what they did that day. I'll be a proud american and do my part, because each one of those victims have a peice of my heart.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My husband is a truck driver with a major carrier and we had to deliver a load about 1 1/2 blocks from the WTC. When we heard the "blast" from the plane going into the building, I panicked because my brother worked. I didn't know at the time that he was on vacation, so was unharmed. I, however, was distraught and wanting to go over to the WTC to try finding him, but there was so much chaos and the streets were blocked off. My husband pointed to the buildings and said, "There's another plane and it's going into the building!! My God, My God! What's happening?!" I burst into tears. I could hear all manner of terrifying noises, screams, sirens... I fell to my knees and began praying, asking God to keep my brother and his co-workers safe. In the year that has passed, I have felt relief at my brother's well-being coupled with intense grief for those who lost loved ones, for all the innocent lives that were lost. September 11 is also my husband's birthday and so the day was especially difficult for him. We weren't able to get out of there until after 8 pm. It is a day I will never forget. It haunts me many times, interrupts my sleep and is the subject of many prayers. I am proud that we as a nation have chosen to band together with love, hope and American pride. We are not entirely a selfish people as witnessed by those who given of their time, efforts and energies to assist, comfort and help those directly impacted by this frightening event. I am blessed with greater appreciation for the freedoms we have here in America. My prayers will always be with the victims and their families, friends and surviving co-workers. May God bless the country with even greater unity, hope and love. 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: i had a 9:00 class that morning, so i didn't find out until just after 10:00. so i'm walking out of krug hall, where my class was (ironically enough, the class was called "social movements and community activism"), and i'm talking to a guy in my class about our group project that's coming up. he gets a call on his cell phone and i hear, "WHAT?!? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?" "two planes just flew into the world trade center and one blew up the pentagon," he says to me with eyes like dinner plates after finishing up on his cell phone. we ran into the guy who had called him and told him in the main student center as we were walking and, as we were walking down to the t.v. lounge downstairs to see it on the news, the guy who'd called and told him said that he had been listening to the radio station DC101, which is in downtown D.C. "the d.j. was talking normally and all of a sudden he yells, 'holy! -...' and there's this long pause and then he comes back on the mic and says, 'oh my god, folks, the ground just shook underneath us and there's black smoke billowing out of the pentagon!' this is crazy as hell, man...never in a million years..." "nah man, you know what?" i said. "this may be crazy as hell, but i'm not surprised. america has made a policy of pissing off any and all countries that it possibly can, even when they go in on (insert corny "bunny ears-like" finger quotation marks here) humanitarian missions. it seems to me that it was just a matter of time before some shit like this went down." angry/confused glares from the other two guys is the only response i got, so i decided to go back to my room. every door on the hall was open and every t.v. was on, with faces glued to it and mouths gaping open for want of something to say, other than, "hooooooly shit, dude. ho-ly shit." "man, i have a class in a few minutes," my roommate said when he noticed that we'd been watching the news in almost complete silence for more than two and a half hours. "i guess i should go and just see if they're still having it." "dude, we could probably see the pentagon on a clear day from here. this area is gonna be, like, crippled for a at least a while. look at that shit," i said as i stood up and pointed at the giant hole in the side of the pentagon. "i seriously doubt anyone is actually expected to come to class after this. and even so, you have a good excuse for not going...but it's up to you." later on that evening at dinner, we watched t.v. to see if there were any more updates, of which there were few...mostly just more gruesome, inappropriate angles on the people who had to jump from the top floors of the world trade center. i quickly lost my appetite, but mostly because of the immediate outburst of hatred and racism that i heard all around me. "i bet it was those fuckin' sand niggers! god DAMMIT! why can't we just nuke the whole fuckin' middle east and put 'em out of their misery?!?" "yeah, man. i hear that shit. those mother fuckers are always stirrin' up some kinda trouble. we could just nuke all of 'em and take care of all of this kinda shit!" i turned and gave them my best "you are ignorant and i hope you shoot your feet off in a drunken hunting accident" glare, and then i turned back around, scoffed, and shook my head. "do those guys really not understand that there was a reason for this? this didn't just come out of the god damn blue. watch...whoever did this is gonna come out with some kind of a manifesto or something saying how the u.s. government killed their family and bombed their village, even though they used to support us or some shit like that." the only response, once again, was "you terrorist motherfucker, it's your fault" glares...but this time, they came from my friends. i laid awake the night of september 11th and thought for a long time before i fell asleep.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I am a New Yorker. Even though I was born in Miami, i moved up to NY with my family when I was 4 years old and was raised in Westchester County. When I heard about the planes hitting the WTC, I was just about to start my reading lesson. The Assistant Principal came into my room, walkie talkie in hand, and asked me if I was from New York. Then she proceeded to tell me about the planes and by that time, one of the towers had already collapsed. I asked if she could please take over my class, and I walked briskly, heart pounding because I knew of one person who worked in the WTC...my friend's husband. When I saw what was being broadcasted on TV in the main office, I could not believe my eyes. It was like a dream...a bad one. All I could think of "Jack is in there. He's dead." Well, luckily, I found out later, he had made it out. But not without scars. He will always have them emotionally. It was a horrific day and I can only imagine what it must have been like for the survivors and those who never made it out. It is a painful reminder of man's inhumanity to man. I pray something of this magnitude will never happen again. 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: I had just graduated high school in July of 2001; I attended high school in Germany as my dad was in the Army, so terrorist attacks were always a very real possibility. We moved to the states in early September of 2001. The 11th is the day we got our furniture. I was still pretty jet lagged so that morning I was still asleep when the first plane hit. My grandmother in FL called and told my dad what happened, and he came upstairs to wake me up. We had just a small 13 inch TV as our other TVs were still to come. We had the news on and were watching the tower with smoke plumes coming out of the top, when the second plane hit. My mom became hysterical. By then it became apparent this was a deliberate attack and not an accident. The movers arrived, so we told them what was happening and let them come watch with us. I got on my laptop and began writing to all my frineds back in Germany. When we heard about the plane that hit the Pentagon my mom became shaken once again; my dad used to work at the Pentagon. I don't remember much else from that day. I was really confused and that night all I could hear were the military planes flying overhead. I had a hard time grasping that no other planes were in the air that night. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
