LC Story LC Story: Story Where were you on September 11, 2001 when you heard the news? (Please share your experience of learning of the events and what you did afterwards.) I was at work on the 24th floor of a federal building in the heart of chicago, just 4 blocks away from the Sears Tower. Someone had a portable tv, so we witnessed it all unfold. Then there was a concern that a plane was lost, so we thought it could be on it's way to chicago. We immediately left the building. I literally ran to the commuter train station 1/4 mile away. When I got there, the conductor advised everyone that the train was the last one out of the city, and it was about to depart any second. Exhausted, I ran to the train and sat with 3 ladies who seemed so calm. I began to shake uncontrolably, unable to dial my cell phone. When I was finally able to dial, I couldn't get a connection. I immediately began to panic. All I could imagine was that the city would be blown up and there'd be chaos. The three ladies began to comfort me, engaging me in conversation unrelated to the current situation. Once I got home, I noticed that there was very little traffic, the mall and stores were closed, and there were no airplanes flying above. LC Story: Memory What is your strongest memory of that day? I began to examine my mortality. LC Story: Affects How do you perceive that the events of September 11, 2001 have affected this country and/or you personally? I decided to make changes in my life toward the goal of having a family. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
