NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I was at work in our costume shop for the Department of Theatre at Michigan State University. The phone rang and it was our shop supervisor's husband. He called and told us that the World Trade Center had been hit. The three of us working that day didn't think too much of it at the moment--the radio was still playing music, it couldn't have been that bad. The radio went to a news announcement and we turned it up. Our supervisor's husband called again to update us on what was going on. Shortly after that, the scene shop supervisor came in and said that the TV was on in the scene shop if we wanted to come down and watch. We all went. It was unreal. The scene shop was silent--no drills or saws were on--nothing. The scene shop crew as well as a few others where all there when we arrived--some sitting, some standing, all eyes on a television set that was no bigger than a postcard. We all stood there in awe, in shock of what we could barely make out going on on the TV set. I will never forget the moments that we all were together in one room--our lives both halted and bound together as we watched the events that were unfolding before our nation on that tiny, fuzzy, black and white television set.
