NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I was sitting in my office in Philadelphia, PA when I heard someone say 'planes have crashed into both of the World Trade Centers' (about 9:30 AM). I tried to go to the Internet for information but it was jammed. As news started filtering in, people began to panic. I work across the street from One Liberty Place - the tallest building in Philadelphia (which was evacuated around 10:30 AM). They sent me home from work around 11 AM. There were sirens everywhere and almost no phone service. SEPTA (local train service) had totally shut down, and I was stranded in the city. Finally, around 2 PM, I caught a train out to the suburbs and had a friend pick me up. While I waited at the station, I realized it was a beautiful September day. That served as a brief respite before watching hours of horror unfold on TV when I made it home. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life hasn't really changed outwardly, but I think about the attacks nearly every day. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? The best and the brightest will always be the targets of attacks from those who covet them. NMAH Story: Flag Did you fly an American flag after the events of September 11th? Have your feelings about the American flag changed as a result of September 11th? I think people who started flying the flag as a direct result of 9/11 are the worse kind of hypocrites.
