Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I woke up about 6.15 o`clock and went to school, as I have done every day. Came home from school at about 11o``clock (it was the first day after school). It seemed to be a normalday butitwasn`t a normal one. I didn`t watch TV or listen to radio until 16.30 o`clock. At this point a relation said something about a terror attack to New York. Two big pessenger planes crashed the two biggest towers, which are or were called `The World Trade Ccenter`. In a flash I switced on The radio and TV. At every programm you could see the terrible attack of the `idiots?. I felt sceard of a terror attack in my country or city. I prayed for the many dead people. As I heard the nummer of the people that died, I stand there in shock. Next day there was the whole school in church (not only because of the attack, it went regular to church, because of the second school day), but we prayed for the death. It will never forget this day. God Bless America Forever! 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: On Sept 11, 2001 my son called on his cell phone and told me that a hijacked plane had crashed into one of the towers of the World Trade center in New York City. No, I said as a first response. I couldn't let myself believe this. Surely i must have heard it wrong. "Are you sure " I gasped. He said yes, it just came over the news.I tried to find some information on the internet but the details were sketchy at beset. I told everyone in my office what I had heard. No one could believe it. My heart was racing and tears stained my eyes. I was in schock and disbelief as the events unfolded. My mind was racing and I said " not here, this is America". I kept my ears tuned to the local radio stations searching for any information i could get. Shock and horror again filled my heart and mind when the second plane hit the other tower, and then again with the other plane crashes. Our office employees were all straining to hear everything that was going on. Never in my mind did I think that the towers would fall and so many would die. Pictures in my mind played over and over again the next few days as tears stained my face hearing of the calls from the doomed people on the planes and inside the trade center to their families. Such precious moments to the families and some were not home to hear the call. Babies being born without a father. Mothers dieing trying to get to safety and be with their families again. All the heros in the mass of distruction. Our nation had been brutally mauled and wounded. Our president was quick and swift to raise to the challenge of this act of war. We as a country came together to face the adversary. Everyone quickly bought shirts, ribbons, pens and other items to show our support of our country and the men and women who died, and the soldiers that were to go to let the killers know that we were alive and well. That we could not be broken by one murderous act. Today it has been a year of emotional ups and downs for us as Americans. The families have tried to move on some with success some not. As their loved ones were buried with honor , others were not so lucky to have anything found to bury. Closure was being searched for today with the families and also by all of us as a country. The emotions are still just below the surface and although not realized until today a repeat of broken hearts and broken dreams. Our only hope is that God will have mercy on us as a family and country to make the right decisions to keep our peace again. Sept 11, 2001 will forever be remembered for the tragic losses and I hope also for the coming together as one national under God. MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA....LAND OF THE FREE!!!!!!

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was watching The Today Show that beautiful morning. I heard Matt Lauer say that a small plane had hit the World Trade Tower. As I turned my attention to the television, I saw the second plane hit the second tower. I had a sense of panic and despair. My husband worked at the Prudential Tower in Boston and I called him immediately thinking all towers might be vulnerable. A man from our small town was killed as he walked by the Towers that fateful morning. He was killed by falling debris on his way to a business meeting.What a wonderful family is left grieveing this great family man. Sadness enveloped me days later when I wondered how I would visit my granddaughter in Texas as I felt I would never fly in an airplane again. Since then, I have flown several times. I will not let the terrorists destroy my life or keep my family apart, although none of our lives will ever the the same. My heart goes out to all of the innocent vicitms and their families as I cannot imagine their pain. May God bless them all and may God bless America.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I got in to work around 9AM and immediately someone said that a plane had hit the WTC. I thought it was an accident and went into my office. I am chief attorney at my company and we had another attorney, a good friend, who worked remotely from Reston VA. We were set up to have a teleconference but when I called her she was very distraught and told me in a very broken voice that her partner, a pilot for American Airlines, had taken off that morning, she didn't know where he was headed and she heard that it was an AA plane that hit the WTC. I immediately got off the phone and went into the TV room to see if I could get any information that would help her.The news was already on and some people in the company were watching. In the meantime the other plane had hit and the newscaster was saying that it was a deliberate attack. I was speechless. I grew up in Florida but my family came from the NY area and when I was 12 they took me to NYC to visit family. I fell in love with the place and decided that I would move there at the first opportunity. So when I finished college my husband and I, with our toddler daughter, did. I worked at NYU. My first job. I moved away to go to graduate school but always felt that NYC was my spiritual home. So when the planes hit I felt as if my home town had been attacked. As I was watching, all of a sudden there was just a big cloud at the south tower. I said "I can't see it! What happened?" It was gone. I was in shock. When the other tower went down I broke down crying. I couldn't believe it. It felt like a movie except that it also felt too real. Who could speak? They evacuated the Cleveland downtown and our building. I stayed a couple of hours and watched the news. I called my friend. Her partner's plane had been re-routed to land in Kansas City. Thank God he was ok. I went home and watched the news until bedtime. For the next two weeks, at least, I watched the news every minute I wasn't at work. All I could think about was the people I thought were still trapped, hurt, in the ruins. I was hoping to see rescues. I was scheduled to present a talk at a law conference in London later that week. I thought that the conference would be cancelled for sure, out of respect. They didn't cancel it. I had done considerable preparation for the talk but I just could not go. I wasn't afraid to fly but I felt it was so unseemly to go on with business as usual when all those people were still missing and, presumably, hurt. The shock diminished with time, of course, but it never has gone. On the anniversaries I spend the day quietly at home. I watch the memorial and tapes that I made. Remembering. I feel that I am paying my respects. My heart goes out to the families, but mostly to the people who died in such a horrible and useless way. I know that the site has to be rebuilt, if only to make a statement. But a large part of me would like the entire site to be a memorial.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: We were at our desks at a state office and one of our co-workers came out of the kitchen where there is a TV set. He was ashen, a private pilot himself, and blurted out that a "small" plane had hit the WTC in clear weather. We gathered around and watched in horror as the 2nd plane hit, then we heard that the Pentagon was also under attack. We heard at first it was a helicopter crash. People were very quiet, not speculating wildly really, offering some logical suggestions... maybe this, maybe that... then word came that we were all to go home, that a State of Emergency had been declared and that two of the planes had been hijacked out of our own Logan Airport. No one knew if there were any more still up there then, that was the weirdest feeling, not knowing if it was over or not. In the subway and looking at random people, wondering if from their expression I could tell if they knew or not. People on cell phones shaking their heads, telling someone on the other end that "it would be alright". Off the train and walking home wondering what else had happened. Had more planes been hijacked and crashed while I was underground? I looked up in the sky and saw no planes and wondered. Looking at the police officers, firemen and ambulances driving past and thinking about them, the everyday heroes risking their lives for all of us. Finally at home and dazed, trying to call my friends in NYC... and not getting through. Watching TV and then seeing with my own eyes the WTC tower crumble and fall, twice. Hearing about Flight 93 crashing in Shanksville PA and what that meant. Gathering up the slim bits and pieces of "facts" and "news" and trying desperately to fit them together into something resembling coherant reality. A roller coaster ride of on-the-scene news reports, tape of the disaster, the awestruck witnesses... a collage of snippets and vingettes that could only provide a few sketchy tiles of a puzzling mosaic. What did we do to deserve this? 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 woke up early that morning. I usually turn n the radio, but I was running late and I didn't really have that much time. I went downstairs and turned on the TV. The image of the plane as it crashed into the building looked like it was out of a movie. I looked down and saw the freighting headline. "World Trade Center Destroyed." I was shocked; I looked up at the picture as the plane hit the building. In mind questions seemed to go through my mind. Why? To this day all I can think is why could any one do such a horrible thing. 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 name is Ian Panchevre at the time I was 12 I had just moved to France from San Antonio Texas. It was September 11 2001 and about 4:30 French time I just came out of school and I was completely clueless about what just started to unfold. My dad drove up with the car he looked at me and said "get in quick!". I just stared at him and thought I had done something bad. The radio was on and both my parents were just staring into space. From what I could understand on the radio there was something involved with airplanes and the world trade center. I was confused and didn't know what to think. Then my dad spoke and adressed me and my siblings. "Two planes just hit the world trade center one hit the pentagon and another just crashed somewhere in Pitsburg, but they don't know if it's related or not." The picture of a plane hitting a tall building and the building crashing over like a bowling pin in the middle of New York kept playing over and over again in my mind. When I got to my house cnn was already on T.V. and what I saw was just hororfing. I saw the World Trade Center smoking with fire, I saw my fellow Americans in horror staring at the trade center, I saw people so desperate that they actualy were jumping out of windows. And I saw Palestinian children my age dancing in the street as if they were celebrating some miracle. I almost threw up when I saw that it was disgusting If it had been the other way around if the Palestinians were being attacked I wouldn't have celebrated. Hatred engulfed my body, I couldn't inderstand why a human being would do something so perverted to another human. Then The first tower crashed down and I truly think that millions of people world wide gasped in horror when they saw that then the second tower. What was strange was how perfect the towers looked like when they fell almost as if it was a controlled demolishon but it wasn't controlled what it was was an act of pure hatred. And after that everything became blured to my vision. That night I went to bed at about 9:30 but I stayed awake maybe up until three. Everything I saw was so unbelievable. I lived in a town called Golfe Juan but I went to school in a town called Vallauris. Now I'm not exagerating but the population in Vallauris was anywhere from 30 to 40 percent arab. That hadn't bothered before me actualy I didn't even notice it until the next day. My first class was history and that day the teachers mouth was flaring at 100 hundred miles an hour. He kept pointing at the world map to places like Saudi Arabia, Palestine, and Afganistan. My friends were sympathetic of course but the arab kids wouldn't leave me alone. They teased me and said mean things to me, they chanted Bin Laden to me and asked me stupid questions like "Did you move from the U.S. because you were afraid of Bin Laden?" and so on. Then about two weeks later I walked into the bathroom and on the wall there was graffiti. There were pictures of planes being stucked in buildings and words like "Bin Laden Fucked the Americans!" it was the entire wall and I couldn't believe that somebody actualy ment those words. The Truth is up until the tenth of September 2001 I had no idea who Bin Laden was. His name sounded familiare I think because of the U.S.S. Coal bombing but for the most part I was clueless about Terorism. The badgering countinued but that wasn't what bothered me. What bothered me was that being an American being all the good that Americans are to the world something so disgusting would happen by someone so heartless. The future rolled on and I saw many articles in magazines like Time and Newsweek and only then did the extent of what happened became realistic to me. The entire world was affected I don't think one person didn't have any encounter with 9/11. America the dream of the free world was attacked by a bunch of heartless scums. They say that time heals all wounds and in a couple of months I was back to myself again. But the media was still litered by everything that happened. They also say that you will never forget where you were the time of a major event. The older generation never forgot where they were when Kennedy got shot. And I will never forget 9/11. I think that in the end the terrorist failed. Their goal was not to run commercial airplanes into the the world trade center. But to bring fear to the American people they wanted to bring us down to our knees. But we didn't instead we became stronger and more united. And for that reason the terrorist failed. I also think that the definition of an "American" has to be rewritten. An American is not a citizen of The United States. An American is a person that believes in the freedom of speach, religion, the press, and the right to persue happines. An American ofers the best, the best food, the best entertainment, the best people and so on. An american also offers the least the weakest, the slowest and we use our power as a super nation to help other countries like Afganistan. An American can be English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Australian, Indian, Pakistanian, Russian, Saudi Arabian, Mexican, Brazilian, Canadian and of course a citizen of the United states. Anyone with the same american beliefs anyone that thinks that all men are created equally and anyone that beliefs in basic human rights is an American anyone that beliefs in Freedom is an American. Thats why I think that september eleventh wasn't an attack on the United States but an attack on humanity. So many people from so many countries and from so many cultures died that day. There crime being an American and living the dream there ancestors had for them. I also think that what september eleventh really did was clarify who was an American and who wasn't. Be strong America. Evil cannot prevail. I didn't lose a friend or a loved one that day. What I lost and what everyone else lost that day was a piece of humanism. The history of the world has changed dramaticaly and I lived to see it happen. From, Ian Panchevre, (An American!)

I thought to myself that it couldn't be my husband for it hadn't been long since he left for work..I answered the phone and sure enough it was him. He asked me if I had knew which building in Manhattan, NY my father had worked in and I said I didn't know ....I asked him Why? ..He said to turn on the news to find out. I did ..Then I cried cause I knew that my dad was either in those building or close by..So I said to my husband "let me call him and I will get back to you"..It took me atleast 2 hours to reach him because after the planes had hit the phones got screwed up..When I finally did get him on the phone I was relieved. My father had worked 4 blocks from the World Trade Center. I asked him "did you hear what happened?" He said " I heard a loud boom but I don't know what happened." I told him what had happened and very bluntly told him to get the hell out of there and go home. He said that he probably could not get out of NY with what was going on and he would go to his brothers house to stay til morning....I said ok..Please keep in touch ...After that my butt was glued to the couch and my eyes glued to the TV. That Saturday when he came to visit I was never so happy to see my dad for I thought that maybe I had lost him..... Treasure what you have now......Don't look for what someone else has........

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: ON SEPTEMBER 10TH 2001, I ALONG WITH MY BOSS WERE ON A FLIGHT FROM CHICAGO MIDWAY TO SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. WE WERE SEATED IN SEAT 6B AND 6A.(AIRLINE WE WERE FLYING IS NOT IMPORTANT) OUR FLIGHT WAS A FAIRLY COMMON FLIGHT WITH NO MORE THAN THE ORDINARY OUT OF PLACE PEOPLE YOU ENCOUNTER ON ANY FLEIGHT. I DID NOTICE HOWEVER, THE THREE MEN IN FRONT OF ME AND MY BOSS, ACTED VERY STRANGE. THEY WOULD ONE AT A TIME GET UP AS SO TO GO TO THE BATHROOM, LOCATED RIGHT BEHIND THE COCK PIT, THEN JUST STAND THERE AND LOOK BACK AT THE PASSANGERS, POSSIBLY 1 TO 2 MINUETS EACH. THE FIRST GENTLEMAN I NOTICED DOING THIS REALLY DID NOT ALARM ME OR EVEN GIVE ME REASON TO GIVE IT A SECOND THOUGHT. WHEN THE SECOND OF THREE OF THEM DID THE SAME THING, I THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD, BUT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS CAUSE FOR ALARM. WHEN THE THIRD GENTLEMAN DID THE SAME THING AS THE FIRST TWO DID, THIS IS WHEN I BECAME A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED. IT WAS OBVIOUS TO ME AT THAT THESE THREE MEN WERE STEAKING OUT THIS AIRCRAFT FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER. I COULD THINK OF NO OTHER EXPLINATION. MIND YOU, OF ALL THREE OF THEM THAT WENT UP TO THE BATHROOM JUST BEHIND THE COCKPIT, NONE OF THEM ACTUALLY ENTERED THE BATHROOM. AT THE TIME, IT SEEMED KIND OF STRANGE BUT, I OBVIOUSLY HAD NO REASON TO BELIEVE THE WORLD WAS ABOUT TO BE ATTACKED IN AN ACT OF TERRISOM. I LOOK BACK ON THIS REMEMBERANCE TODAY AND WHAT I REMEMBER ON THAT AIRCRAFT THAT DAY, JUST HORRIFIED THAT THOSE THREE MEN THAT ACTED SO STRANGLEY ON SEPTEMBER 10TH 2001, WITHOUT A DOUBT IN MY MIND, WERE THREE OF THE TERRORIST'S THAT HAVE GIVEN OF THEIR LIVES JUST TO INFLICT PAIN UPON THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I HAVE RELIVED THE IMAGE OF THESE THREE MEN IN MY MIND OVER THE PAST YEAR, WONDERING IF POSSIBLY I COULD HAVE, WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE ATTENTITIVE, AND REPORTED THIS SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY TO THE PROPER AUTHORITYS, COULD I HAVE SAVED 4000+++ LIVES. I CANNOT TAKE BLAME FOR SEPTEMBER 11TH2001, BUT I WILL LIVE EVERY DAY, THE REST OF MY LIFE WONDERING IF I COULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE WOULD I HAVE NOTIFIED THE PROPER AUTHORITIES REGARDING MY WITNESS OF THE ACTIONS OF THESE THREE POSSIBLE TERRORISTS................... GOD, PLEASE FORGIVE ME AND GIVE ME THE POWER TO GO ON... M.J.T. WAUSAU, WI. 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 sitting in my mennonite school, quietly wishing that yet another chapel would be over. It took too long, too short now in retrospect. I watched our principal walk up to the front, and instinctivly I knew that something was wrong, because he only ever speaks if something bad had happened concerning the school, which was almost never. He began by saying something along the lines of, "There are some very angry people in this world..." and he quickly related the events which had transpired about an hour ago. Across the hall I could hear quiet whispers of "Oh, my God..." along with prayers and cursing, mingling together in a desperate murmur. Behind me, I heard someone say, "This is history."

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I received a call shortly after I arrived at work and the only information I had until I left was through subsequent calls and via the internet. The radio provided detail and the computer provided images but nothing prepared me for actually getting home and seeing what had happened. As I think back, the entire episode seems like an out-of-body experience. Seeing the images over and over didn't make it real to me and even now, almost one year after, I have to think back to make sure that it indeed happen. I flew out of Little Rock National Airport one week afterward and was extremely apprehensive until the plane actually lifted off the runway. We flew into Philadelphia and ended up in New York City on Friday, September 21. I remember standing across in New Jersey and looking at Manhattan, walking toward Ellis Island, which was closed, and everytime something flew overheard, everyone stopped their run, their walk, their bike ride and looked skyward. We spent the entire day in the city but the most haunting image was leaving the city and looking back. The image of the skyline of Manhattan with the smoke still rolling is still with me.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: First let me say that I cannot believe that it is three months away from the 2 year anniversary of 9-11. That day will be etched in my memory forever. I was doing my morning chores and getting ready to watch Live with Regis and Kelly. It was about 8:55 when I went into the living room with my 9 month old son and put the TV on. The first thing I saw was the first tower with smoke pouring out of it. I hear them say a plane it the building. I thought great that doesn't do much for my fear of flying. Like a lot of people I thought that it was a small plane until I heard a lady on the phone saying that it was a jet and that it looked like the pilot was drunk. She saw it happen from the top of her building. I decided to call my mother and I said "ma, did you see what happened?" "Yeah" she said "what's going on?" I don't know I tell her they said a plane hit the building. We got off the phone and I called my friend to let her know what was going on because she was at work. As I'm on the phone with her I see another explosion and say to her there was an explosion. ( I couldn't see the other building with the angle they had the camera on.) She starte screaming we're being attacked! I call back my mother and we are screaming and crying. My daughter (who was off from school that day due to fleas in her school) comes in and I tell her go back in my room and watch TV. I couldn't call my husband because he is a teacher and I didn't know what was going on there. Anyway, my husband finally calls me to see what is going on and I tell him. I see across the screen for police, firemen, emt's, paramedic's to report to work so I call my mother again because my sister and her fiance (who was already at work) to tell my sister to go to work. My sister answers the phone and is yelling at me (she's a little nasty) that is her day off!!! Can anyone believe that??? Actually she didn't know exactly what was going on. When she found out she went. Anyway I watching the news alone when the first tower fell. I was scared to death!! Through this my husband is stil calling me (when he can get through, the phones were down most of the day) asking where his father is when I realize, my brother!!! He worked for the phone company at that time and was sometimes working right across the street. Now I'm really panicking because I know he is at work and can't get in touch with my mother (the phones again) by this time the second tower has fallen. I'm crying hysterically!! I can't move away from the TV. My husband calls and I told him "They're gone" He says "What do you mean they're gone?" I said "they collapsed the Twin Towers aren't there anymore!" He was just stunned. His school was in lock down and parents were coming to get there kids. He said it was crazy there. He finally came home and we just watched TV all day and all night. Even slept with the TV on. My sister and her fiance had the awful job of picking up debris. When I finally spoke to her she was shell shocked when I asked her if you found anyone she said there is no one to be found. Only body parts. Her fiance was working on a patient at 7 World Trade when the horn sounded and they started screaming for everyone to run. He had to leave the patient there. He said it was the hardest thing he ever had to do. My husband's cousin lost 4 people very close to him. One his best friend and neighbor and one his cousin who was a fireman. September 11, 2001 is a day I will never forget. May the Lord bring peace to the families of the vicitms.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: When i first heard that something had happened at all i was in my 3rd period math class, i didn't really know yet exactly what had happened my teacher didn't want to give us information she said may not be true. I found out what was happening and that a plane had flown into the World trade center in my next class. at first it seemed unreal, people were telling me what happened and i didn't believe them i thought they were all joking untill my teacher turned on the T.V. and the first thing i saw was the broadcast of the plane hitting the building and even still it felt like this can't be, this can't be happening to America. I remember some of the students being happy that we were having an early dismisal and there would be no more work but the only thing on my mind at the time was to get in touch with my mother to find out if she heard and to make shure she knew i was ok. Know i just feel like the mourning period is over. We should never forget, but we should try to move on or else they've won and accomplished what they seeked out to do.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in History of Music class at Berklee College of Music on the morning of September 11, 2001. When the class let out at 11 AM, there were postings all over the doors saying "Due to Terrorist Attacks, Classes have been cancelled." My friend and I thought it was some joke and we ripped the fliers off of the doors and headed to our next class. There was an eerie fear welling up inside of my body. I stared at the Prudential Building looming above my head, then back at the flier, then back at the building and assumed that a terrorist had attacked downtown Boston. When I got to the Mass. Avenue building, I noticed the doors were plastered with the fliers. Upon entering the building I noticed how quiet and empty it was save for a radio blaring the news on the security guards desk. An aquaintance ran up to me hysterical, in tears, and told me that the World Trade Towers had been bombed and were gone. I was in disbelief. What kind of bomb had it been? Was all of lower Manhattan gone? How many thousands of people must've perished! My hands started trembling. My first thought was to get out of the shadow of our own skyscrapers to my apartment. I quickly left and began to walk to my apartment. The air that morning was absolutely brilliant. A perfect fall day. I stared at the crisp blue sky where every morning I would watch airplanes fly over the city as they took off from Logan Airport. With each breath, the scent of my cologne reinforced that memory. Had I watched the fated planes that morning? All along the street people were on their cell phones and talking about the attacks. Everyone was somber, walking slowly in the usually bustling street. The words terrorism and war coming from these strangers frightened me. The panic on their faces chilled me. I got home and turned on my television and cried at the sight. I frantically tried to call my family in Virginia to tell them that I was ok, but my cell phone was jammed and service on the telephone would come and go. Later in the day we took a drive around the city. F-16s were speeding across the sky and with the sound of each approaching, my heart dropped, my eyes studied the skies and all I could think was that a plane was bound for downtown. I spent most of the remainder of the day staring out of my apartment at the Boston skyline wondering if it would be there in the morning, watching the horrific events on the television over and over. The news flashed terror warnings for the Boston subway and for the Financial District. Several college students in my building were standing at the elevator leaving for home in fear that evening. The following day, each class was spent talking about the attacks. In one small class, two students began to cry and the professor excused them. All I could think of is that it felt like a dream. Later that evening, I joined in a candle light vigil at The Christian Science Plaza. Seeing thousands of stragers standing in silence, praying, crying and fearful has been one of the most moving moments of my life. In the coming days, the city was in fear. It was announced that the terrorists may have had a cell at the Westin Hotel and hundreds of people were crowded in the streets to see what was happening. Police blocked off streets and the already traffic jammed Back Bay became impassable. Looking back on September 11th, 2001, I feel myself and the entire country had an overwhelming feeling of helpless and mourning. I have never been an extremely patriotic person, but on that day I felt connected to each and every person I saw. We had shared in an historic event that will be documented forever. I will never forget the crystal blue skies of that September morning and the feeling that something so terrible could not have happened on such a lovely day.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was unusual that we would have the news on in the morning since my two and half year old son normally watches cartoons. I would have been at the high school teaching, but with the birth of my other son just one month before it allowed for me to be at home on maternity leave. My husband and I prepared for the day as I flipped to watch the morning news programs. I turned to the Today show and the first plan had just hit. Like others, I thought of this as a horrible accident and wondered how a plane could have been that low or off course. Moments later, the second plane hit and I knew that something strange was happening. My husband had to leave for work and I had this sickening feeling that I just couldn't explain. I worried about him, but hoped that our little town would be safe. We talked throughout the day so that he could stay updated. I left the news on all day and just could not believe as one frightening thing happened after another. We went for a walk that evening just to get away from the news and maybe the world for a little while. Shortly after this life changing day, our two and a half year old began waking up at night scared of the airplanes outside his window (we live 5 mins. from the Dayton International Airport). I guess it just shows us how much everyone was affected by this day. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
