Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was working as a server at the time and had just worked two weeks straight without a day off. September 11th was my first day off and I was ready to sleep in. I was sleeping heavily when my boyfriend came in to wake me up. He told me that a plane had run into a building. In my sleepiness I envisioned a small sight-seeing plane hitting a small building somewhere unimportant. I told him to leave me alone and I went back to sleep. A few hours later when I woke up I walked downstairs and saw my boyfriend, our roommate and a few of our closest friends huddled around the television. I was like, "what the heck is everyone watching?" When I turned my eyes to see I could not believe it. We all sat there in absolute disbelief. We had so many questions and we were all afraid. We sat glued to the television the entire day. No one dared to move. I think we all cried and we all called our loved ones just to hear their voices. I will never forget how close we all felt to each other that day. The sadness was crippling but the love that rose out of the ashes of that tragedy will be with me forever. Don't ever forget!

I turned on the TV and I was shocked, I cried for days. I couldn't turn off the TV. I felted all of the pain that everyone there was going through. I prayed for them to find as many people alive as they could. As the days passed I started to pray that they find anyone they could alive or dead so there family's would know. I was sicken to hear that the terrorist when they found out the damaged they did they were all dancing in the streets, how dare they. Not even one of them felted ashamed or sorry for what they have done to us. A year later, they must think they have gotten away from doing this deed. But I am not worried, that God will judge them and they will be punished for that they have done to us. I am very proud to be an American.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Sept. 2001 was the beginnig of my basic training for the U.S. Army. After waiting an entire 2 weeks I, along with hundreds of other recruits was to begin my Army career. {our training had been somewhat delayed due to lack of drill sgts. at the time.} The days prior to the 11th we had been practicing a ceremony in which we would meet and greet our new drill sgts. and swear into basic training. Yes, I was excited I was to begin my army career. The day began as best it could for a day in trainig, early chow, roll call, room check, ect.. At around 8am, my unit marched to the area where the ceremony would take place, and took our places. We sang the army song, repeated army core values and stood at parade rest as several recruits marched around in military uniforms from past wars. Each of us unaware what was taking place in our homeland. The ceremony went well and we marched back to our companies, excited, nervous, and Proud!!!. We stood in line waiting {you do that often in the military.} A drill sgt. approached us and in a stern serious voice informed us that OUR nation had just been attacked by terrorists. At the time we took it for granted that it was just a scare tactic to get us prepared for the next 9 weeks, but as the day went by, and we were instructed to contact our families if they lived in NYC. We began to realize this was not just a Drill's idea of a joke, but a sick, sad reality. I can't explain the sickness that over came each of us, we had just sworn to protect the freedom of our fellow americans agianst all odds, and suddenly this. We were aware of the possibility, but this soon? I called my family on the pay phone, they tried to describe what had happened, and what the news was showing everyone, but it all seemed to unreal. The world was falling apart and I was 500 miles away from my southeastern Ky. home? My family was together and I was here alone, unsure of where I may end up. Later that evening one of the drill sgts. decided to let us catch a few minutes of news coverage. 10 soldiers at a time walked into that room, each of us walked out changed, tears were in the eyes of those who seemed had no heart, and for the first time we began to feel like family. Each of us alone, a scared, only one another to turn too. For next few days life seemed a dream. We were updated on the attack whenever there was something new to tell. On the following tuesday we held a ceremony outside of our unit, military personnel, civilians and trainees alike joined together to salute those who had died, as we listened to the silence we could hear the sadness in the wind, smell it in the air feel it in the coldness of a Sept sun. I spent nights fighting to sleep only to be awaken by dreams of bombs and attacks, even though I only seen 2 minutes of live footage. I knew now more than ever that I had made the right choice by joining the military. I was always proud to be an american, but now I was proud to serve america, the people who died in the Sept 11 tragedy, and those who lost their loved ones are the real heros. I salute you all those gone, those still here, may God bless you. 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 was asleep and the phone rang. It was my sister who lives in Manhattan. Her voice was trembling and she said, "Cindy, I hate to wake you but a plane has flown into one of the World Trade Center Towers, it's awful and sad. You have to see this!" So I woke up, turned on the coffee and called her back from my living room. As we were talking and I was giving her information from different channels...the second plane hit...we were stunned...there was silence...and an OH MY GOD...and then I said to her..Linda this is not an accident. Our hearts broke...our lives changed and the city that I once lived in and that my Mom and sister live in was under attack. The rest of that morning was spent checking on them and watching the news and PRAYING!!! The city of New York rose out of this like a shining beacon. New York City is the greatest city. I live in Los Angeles and love it here...but I had nothing but pride for the City of New York and for our country. My oldest son (13) was devastated. He had to come home from school that morning because he couldn't stop crying for NYC and his family. The next day he started a fundraiser at his school and collected $524.00 for the firehouse in my Mom's neighborhood (9th street). This is a day none of us will ever forget or totally understand...but we are Americans and we are strong!!! God Bless the USA!!!!!

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was late for work, and got a call from my younger sister, asking if we were watching tv, and to turn it on if we weren't. The first tower had just been hit. We watched in shock and awe as a second plane crashed into the second tower, live on international TV. We were told immediately that it was terrorists. Our news people mentioned the Arab world over and over. We saw the external wreckage at the Pentagon, but very little was shown of that -- or even talked about. Then there were the other planes... they said there was one in Pennsylvania, and then it went down. There was another plane that they were reporting had been hijacked, but just stopped talking about it - either it was misreported earlier, or they decided to drop it. We watched the replay of the crash over and over and over and then better footage taken by amateurs showed up... and that was played over and over and over. The original estimates of the dead and injured reached as high as 20,000... while people were still streaming out of the coulds of white smoke and dust and debris that surrounded the World Trade Center Complex. I called in to work to ask if they had heard, and was told to get there immediately. No one at the office seemed to be bothered by the attack at that point... they just wanted to get on with their day. So, I drove to Austin and sat at my desk all day, checking CNN online every now and again for updates.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at home with my 2 1/2 year old daughter, who was watching a children's show on tv. My friend called and said, "Do you know what's going on?", and I casually said, "No...". She then told me to turn on the tv and that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. At first, I thought she meant the World Trade Bldg. in Baltimore, but then realized it was New York. I watched the upstairs tv, and just stood there in shock. At that time, there were rumors of other hijacked planes in the air, and it was numbing. As I watched the second plane crash, I thought I better call my husband, (who works in DC for the govt) and tell him to come home. When I called him, it took a while to get through, because the phone lines were all busy. He said he would leave work, and did. It took him 3 hours to get home, when it typically takes 45 minutes. It was just so scary not knowing what was going to occur next. I then tried to call my cousins and Aunt who live and work in NY. I wasn't sure where my cousin David's office was in relation to the WTC. The phones were all busy or had a message saying that call volume was so high, to try later. I just kept calling and calling for about an hour and a half, I guess. I decided to e-mail David at work, and was relieved to find that his office is closer to midtown. He informed me that all the relatives were alright. When my husband came home, I was so relieved, and we basically sat and watched as much of the events unfolding that we could, without having our daughter see it. For at least a month or two afterwards, I would often have bad dreams about the events, and was almost CONSTANTLY thinking about it, and reliving the images in my head. We live close to I-95, and it is a popular route for jets. When planes were allowed back in the air, every time I saw one, I actually looked up, and expected to see it explode in mid-air. It took a long time for that feeling to go away. 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 was on my way to class at NYU that Tuesday morning on September 11th. I remember being late, so I was rushing my way to school. I was already on the train at about 8:40am for a 35 minute commute. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, rush-hour was moving along as usual, small delays here and there. I kept hearing announcements by the train conductor about some "serious incident" and that all trains will not be going beyond Canal Street. I exited the train at about 9:15 from the 8th street station on the N&R line (both planes had already hit the towers by then). I noticed that it was an extremely beautiful day and almost everyone was walking peculiarly slow on the streets. No panic, just stunned faces as I glanced at them. I wasn't yet aware of the situation until I looked South on Broadway and noticed a dark cloud in the sky, I assumed it was just a fire. I walked into my school building and bumped into my boss, he just said that a small plane hat hit one of the world trade center towers. It seemed funny at first to think of a small plane just running into the towers as if they are so difficult to notice. Then I ran upstairs to class, noticed a monitor in the lobby showing images of the event. Strangely, NOBODY was reacting loud. I think it was just the shock that kept them quiet. Moving along, my class was still in session, so I walked in and sat in my chair. It was strange sitting there knowing that only a few blocks away something terrible was happening. I'm not sure everyone was yet aware of the magnitude of this. The TV in the lobby was facing our classroom. Everyone would turn here and there to see what was going on. All of a sudden everything got very quiet and we all turned around, that's when the first tower fell. Someone walked into the room and announced that we should all go home. I walked outside the room and starred at the monitor as the towers fell in real-time. That's when I panicked, I ran to the phone and called my mom, I was only on the phone with her for 10 seconds before I lost connection. That's when every phone (including mobile) went dead. I ran to a computer, logged on AOL and began to send messages to friends telling them that I'm okay and to inform my parents. I started crying a lot, something I don't do very often. I began to worry since my best friend worked near the towers, but thank God he called in sick that day. I remained in school until 10:30, around the time the second tower collapsed. Maybe it's because it was a nice day outside, but everyone was very calmed. Walking north away from the event. The media was a heavier impact on the event then the event itself, that's the impression I got after I got home and turned on my TV.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I'd woken up to my husband running into the bedroom on the morning of Tuesday, September 11th, telling me to turn on the TV. We both watched in horror as we saw the first plane inside the Tower. We'd thought, as may others had, that it was a fluke, that a pilot had horribly and mistakenly crashed the plane. Then the second plane hit. We were dumbfounded. The rest of the day was filled with confusion and sadness. Although we weren't anywhere near the damage, we still felt it deeply. Later on that day, I got a call from a friend of mine. She informed me that two friends of ours, David and Lynn Angell, were on Flight 11, which is the first plane to have crashed. At that point, my sadness and confusion was compounded by my grief at the loss of two very dear people. The world will never be the same after 9-11-01.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in our new home, sound asleep, as I heard the phone ring. It was my husband at work telling me to get up and turn on the television, that the one of the twin towers and the pentegon had been hit. My first reaction was "OH MY GOD" as I instantly awoke. My mother, who is deaf, was staying with us to help us get settled in. I ran into the living room and turned on the TV and then ran and got my mother who was in the kitchen making coffee. I was in a panic as I told her to come quick to the TV. We sat and we watched in complete shock. Not quite sinking in, we watched the first tower fall. But as the second tower fell, so did the tears. Disbelief and sadness took over. My mom and I embraced each other as we cried and hardly any words were spoken. All we could think about were all of those people who were in those buildings and their families who lost them. My heart goes out to them. I then began to call family who live in Virginia. To make sure they were alright. And through the broken voices and tears "I Love You's" were shared as we realized our family was safe. As Americans, our patriotism grew. The American Flag is still displayed at our houses and in our cars and in our hearts. September 11th will be a day I will never forget.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11, 2001, I was at work at Firstar Bank in Oak Harbor, Ohio. We live in a small community and most everyone knows everyone. When the first person walked in the door and told us that an airplane had flown into the World Trade Center, we were all shocked and ran to the break room to look at the t.v. We all took turns going back to see what was happening and we were all watching as the second plane flew into the Tower. To our horror we realized that it wasn't an accident that the first one had hit. Then the Pentagon was hit and reports came in of an airplane that was being tracked in Cleveland, OH. We thought we were at war. When the Towers both collapsed that day, we were all crying. I wanted nothing more than to get my children from school and take them home in case something more happened. I had no idea how I would ever explain to them that the only reason that it happened was because the people who did this don't think we should live the way we do. It is a wonderful thing to realize that your children truely do appreciate the country we live in and that many people, including some of their great uncles have served their country to insure those things for them. In my wildest dreams I never imagined my children seeing anything like this. I know that they will never forget, I will make sure that they hold in their hearts and memories the day that will forever change this country and the way we come to look at our freedoms and appreciate them.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11th, 2001 I was working at Al-Anon in Virginia Beach, VA. I had just graduated from college and was working in the shipping department while looking for a full-time job. I remember listening to national public radio that day and hearing that an airplane had just crashed into one of the towers. At that time, I didn't think the situation was as serious as it actually was. I remember thinking that somehow a passenger plane must have gotten off course. I never would have imagined it was a terrorist attack. During our break time, we all gathered in the cafeteria but this time no one was eating or talking. There was no line at the snack machine like their usually was. Everyone was staring at the television set, watching the planes crash into the towers. Al-Anon used to be located in New York so a lot my co-workers were shocked and worried about family members there. A few days after the attacks, I was working in the shipping department handling returns. I went to open one of the boxes and noticed the address. It was sent to a business in the World Trade Center. The UPS label said the box was unable to be delivered due to unforeseen events. I took all of the materials out and returned them to their shelves but couldn't throw away the box like we normally did. I asked if I could keep it. I kept it at my station for a while and took it with me when I got a new job. I still have that box to this day. It's just a box but it reminds me of where I was and how I felt on September 11th, 2001.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in the family car, when the radio burst with the news. We stopped the car and I changed the stations to know what was the truth. We looked one to another (we are four, father, mother, me and sister). After a short drive in the freeway, we stopped in front of a public phone in the middle of nowhere, and I spend 15 U$S trying to speak with my girlfriend in Jerusalem, Israel. She was freaking out, she was thinking that the Palestinians have gone mad and that the end of the world was close. I assure her that this was not from Arafat, but took me a lot of expensive phone calls to convince her that was not possible or good for her to escape from Israel in the same day. In the end, she traveled to her relatives in northern Tel Aviv, and I continued my travel to Buenos Aires. The next day the people in my town were commenting in a low voice how the yankees deserved the blow: "now they know what it is like to suffer". For me was like a Hollywood movie. That night I looked to my photos in the Twin Towers, from 1999. 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: Like many a New York story the subtle unusual differences in the details soon mounted into a tremendous and horrendous day. I remember that it started out as a bright and fantastic weather day. I left my apartment a bit early to vote in the NY primary election before heading off to work in Jersey City, NJ. But for some reason I changed my mind and chose to go to the polls after work instead of early in the morning, because I wanted take my time going to work and enjoy the weather. My wife had left about 30 minutes earlier than I did and was on her way to her job on Wall St. To reach my office in Jersey City, I had to take several subway lines, the last one in NY being the N/R train to the Courtland Street/WTC station. From there it was maybe a 5 minute walk to the PATH subway station through the concourse level of the WTC. As far as I could recollect the first plane must have hit about the time that I reached the bottom of a long staircase leading to the mezzanine level of the PATH station. Now imagine if you will about 6 or 7 really long escalators just filled with hundreds of commuters coming from New Jersey and more on the way. On this morning, as I walked to the escalators after buying a newspaper, nothing really seemed out of place, but the crowds from Jersey were slow in coming. I took the stairs that lead to the mezzanine level since they were usually less crowded than the one escalaltor that lead downstairs. Things got a bit tenser however when I reached the actual turnstile area near the commuter bar. Without warning about 12-15 Port Authority police and security personnel came bursting out from several doors located behind the turnstiles, each of them moving with great urgency. One security guard in particular attempted to leap over a slam gate, caught his foot and imediately fell face first to the ground. But faster than you could blink, he was on his feet and running with the rest of the group. I immediately stepped aside looking behind me, expecting to see the cause of their action, but, again, nothing was evident. They all ran to the escalators and away they went. I and another passenger stood for a moment watching this. I remarked to the other man "did you see anything or anybody?" He replied no and with a nervous look we both continued with our travels. The train ride to New Jersey, which normally took about 8 miuntes took less than 5 and the train was almost completely empty. No announcments were made, but as I would later find out the train was a means of escape for me and thousands of other commuters. When I emerged at the Exchange Place Station I saw about 200 people standing near the station looking back at New York. The World Trace Center was just about directly across from the PATH Station entrance, maybe 1-mile across the Hudson River. At first I thought there was some media crew there doing a live telecast from the Jersey City waterfront using lower Manhattan as a backdrop, which happened fairly often. But when I didn't see one, I was immediately struck by a long thick plume of black smoke which by now had started to float across the Hudson and into upper Manhattan. I could not see the top of the North Tower of the WTC until I followed the smoke back and was horrified by the flames and smoke that were erupting out of the building, making the top of it look like an oil refinery fire. I immediately ran to my ffice building, about 50 yards away from the PATH station. While running through the concourse level, which was glass enclosed and facing the WTC, I encountered a man on a cellphone looking at the North Tower ablaze. I asked him what he saw. His reply was "I was just standing here when I saw a plane come from that way and it just plowed into the building. This was no accident!" I could not get my mind around the concept so I pressed further. "It was a jumbo jet! It came straight in like they meant to ram the thing! Goddamnest thing I ever saw!" My jogging to the office became full-fledged sprint. I reached my office on the 2nd floor in about 2 minutes. I alerted my co-wrkers, who had come in from Jersey so they wouldn't have seen the first attack, about what I had saw. I tried calling my wife's office but could not get an answer. I left a message desperate for her to call me back. Her office was only three blocks away from the WTC and she would often take cabs and walk some of the way. We all gathered by a large window that afforded us an unobstructed view of the burning tower. Several of them scrambled back to their desks to call loved ones, but I and another man stayed. As we wondered aloud who could have done this he noticed another object coming from the right. He immediately yelled "What the hell is that plane doing?" I saw what he was describing just as the second plane suddenly came into view and disappeared just as quickly into the South Tower. It exploded out and sideways almost as if it were in slow-motion. We stood in disbelief at what had become a nightmare. The Human Resources Director for the company, watching from an office maybe 20 feet away, fainted. I could hear screams from others in the office when they realized that they had family or friends that worked at the WTC and that this was officially an all-out assault from whoever. Fear turned into more sprinting. I ran back to my office and called my wife again with the horrible update. With great relief my wife's voice greeted me on the other end of the line. She was very upset as well, but was rallying her co-workers, many of whom were panicking and praying in their office. They were preparinig to evacuate but the phone cutoff before we could finish our conversation. I told my co-workers, most of whom lived in New Jersey to get ready to leave as soon as it was okay. I kept looking for the hierarchy in our office to gather us together and tell us to evacuate. It was rumored that the Pentagon had been hit but the reports as to how and where were sketchy. We were ordered to stay away from the windows adjacent to the Hudson and the unfolding devestation outside. Was the attack still underway? What else had been hit? Many had gathered in the cafteria and and the reception area, where TV monitors tuned to CNN gave us detail after unbelievable detail. Then the pictures from the Pentagon attack were shown for the first time. This was another crippling blow to our psyches. In the cafeteria TV pictures of the smoking ruins and fires from Washington, D.C. juxtaposed against the two towers burning literally in the background through the huge windows gave new meaning to surreal. How many people had died? How many other planes were out there waiting to strike or had? Still more rumors floated about concerning several planes that were unaccounted for and they could be anywhere. In all of this, still no word on whether we would evacuate or not. Though I was ddeply worried for my wife and my friends who worked in the WTC I figured that we would be safe enough where we were. It was the only joke of the day I could think of, but I didn't think anything in New Jersey was important enough to blow up. I went back to my office to try and call my wife a third time, but when I got there I was startled by several loud screams coming from the hallway. The unthinkable had happened again. The South Tower had suddenly collapsed. I rushed to one of the barracaded windows, expecting to see the tower laying in or near the water's edge. Instead the entire area was enveloped by a thick gray fog which continuted to rise. It soon blotted out the entire area. When I returned to my desk again, my wife had left a frantic message telling me that here building shook and swayed when the collpase was under way and that they could no longer see the sun out of the windows. As bad as it sounded she and others were ready to evacuate. Her voice assured me that the building indeed did not just fall over, but again I was equally worried about what she would find when she hit the streets. Replays on TV showed that it simply came down with a thunderous final implosion. Several more people fainted. Others cried for some type of vengeance. At that moment the Jersey City Police came through and announced an evacuation. It was stern, but that was what was needed. We immediately left the building, but for the people from New York, there was no where to go. Transportation to NY, in the form of bridges, ferries, tunnels, and trains was completely cutoff. I and another co-worker wandered over by the Exchange Place PATH station trying to find someone to tell us what we could do. the lone gentleman who was there calmy told us that there was no service and that no one knew when it would come back. He also informed us that the area was being cleared so that survivors and the deceased ould be transported trhough this area to local hospitals. Over his shoulder, we could see the smoldering North Tower of the WTC. As he was speaking to us his radio clamored for attention, but before he could answer it, the North Tower suddenly started to collapse. In a rush of smashing concrete and steel, which sounded like 1,000 rollercoasters coming down at once, the building folded like a beach chair. We stood speechless for a moment, as if the collapse was simply another part of a day that shook the soul. We then went to the next PATH Station to see if anyone knew what to do about getting home. The ferries from New York started to arrive carrying people who clearly had been there for the collapse. One man was so covered in soot an debris that his shoes literally emitted puffs of smoke as he walked. He looked dazed but he also didn't slow his stride. A squadron of F-16s came over head not too long after. I wondered if this were simply window dressing. Whatever we normally did to keep planes from being hijacked went horribly awry on this day, and now thousands were probably dead and injured and a city lost one of it greatest landmarks. The nation for a day lost its security. Hours later I checked into a hotel room that was reserved by the company I worked for since New York was locked down until the next day. I spoke to my wife at length and found out that she was in the street when the second tower fell. Covered in soot from head to toe, she and several of her co-workers managed to walk to the lower east side and found a restaurant to sit in for a few hours. In the end it took about 6 hours for her to get home. She was scared and tired but her spirit was not broken. I also found out that she was scheduled later that day to meet with the catering manager of Windows on the World restaurant to plan a monthly fucntion for one of her professional organizations. He was one of the 3,000+ people that perished in the attack. Later on that evening as I walked around Jersey City trying to find a restaurant to buy some food I saw some people walking around putting up flyers of the missing. I also saw people gathered near the PATH station looking at the now dissipating smoke and flames where the WTC once stood. They were silent, but I think it was more out of shock and respect. So many things went through my mind before during and after the initial event. Our feeling of safety was pummeled almost to death. The people inside the WTC were doing nothing more than working and having breakfast and they were slaughtered. I was at least lucky enough to have escaped from underneath the catastrophe. And it strated off as such a beautiful day. 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 was walking through the lobby of the nursing home where I work when the news flashed the picture of the airplane crashing into the 1st Tower. Several of the elderly residents were there with me as we watched in shocked disbelief. We continued to watch and were horrified when the 2nd Tower was hit. None of us had family or friends in the Towers, yet we felt great fear and sadness for the thousands of people we knew were in harms way. As the scenes kept flashing across the televison screen I just kept thinking how could so many people bare such heart breaking loss. I wondered what kind of person could do such a thing. I felt anger and wanted the person responsible to suffer greatly. Though it has been almost a year I find it no easier to accept that we were attacked on our own shores or that so many lives were lost. I pray for strength and peace for those who lost loved ones, friends, and co-workers.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was 13 and in 9th grade when this happened. I'm now 14 and in 10th grade. When the first plane hit, I was in 1st period, computers. I never thought something like this happened. I found out in 5th period, physics first. The school, FTCHS, brought almost the whole floor into the lab so we could listen to the names being called to go home. I still didn't know what was going on. Finally one of the teachers told us. For some reason, I always thought the WTC towers were in Chicago...don't ask. My name was finally called, and my brother's friend's mom picked me up. The streets were crowded with cars while she took her 3 sons, my brother and I to her house. From there, we tried to get in touch with my mom, but she already left. When she picked me up, it was about 20 minutes later. She told me she went to my school first because she didn't think anyone would pick me up. When she saw my brother's friend's mom picked me up, she came over and took us home. It took us over an hour to get home. There was so much traffic! I never thought a 20 minute ride could be an hour. My mom watched the news. I couldn't go on the Internet and talk to people from school. I remember reading 'Adrian Mole, aged 13 3/4' or something along those lines. I remember my dad calling, saying he had to work later, fixing trucks or something like that. He didn't come home until 8:00 that night. I was pretty scared. Listening to the radio was hard, since all my favorite radio stations were talking about the attacks. I finally found out that 'Radio Disney' was not talking about that, and listened to that. It was scary, even though I knew no one who were in any of the attacks. I didn't go to school the next day: we were given off. I went to my old school, and all the classes were talking about this. In Kindergarten, where I usually help, they were praying for the victims. The rest of the school went to Mass, and also prayed for everyone. I couldn't go since I was watching Kindergarten. I know it was great though, from my brother. Later that month, the school children and teachers threw red, white and blue balloons up in the air. The local firehouse was there. I saw pictures. This year their doing the same thing. I wish I could go, but I have school. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We couldn't believe what he was telling us, and hoped that it was just a tragic accident. When Danny called back a few minutes later and told us that a second plate had hit the other tower, we all knew that it was a terrorist atack. Everyone in our office started crying, and I was shaking. My sister called me, and we started crying together over the telephone. I called my son's school and told his guidance counselor that I was coming to pick up him and my niece. When I got to my son's school, I went right to the lunchroom and just gave him a big hug. I took my son and my niece to my sister's house and we just huddled together on the couch, crying and hugging each other for the longest time.

Tell us your story: Well that morning i guess i had a 9 am class at George Mason University and i fell into my usual morning routine and everything was normal until i was halfway to school when i saw 7 or 8 fire trucks go flying by in the other lane heading twoards the beltway. I thought this was odd at first so i decide to turn to thee radio to see if i could get some info on what just happened. "The Pentagon has just been hit". At first I had no clue what was going on and i thought it was a joke or something, so i changed the channel and it was same thing. So then i began to learn what what was happening. When I arrived at campuse it was madness. People were running all over and were crying it was madness. For me this was so interesting because i was shocked but i wasnt horrafied like most people i guess because i just always figure shit happens. I finaly got to class and my profesor began to explain what was happening and it was truely insane how they pulled this off. So class was pretty much cancled so i went home and turned into the tv and watched and saw the replays and everything. And then the towers fell and this was a crazy image. That was like the whole world was going down with it. To see the faces of the people running for there lives cannot reven be described. IT was crazy. The whole thing was crazy and it changed everyones world. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
