NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. Overall, my Sept 11 experience was more surreal than anything else. I was attending class at DePaul University in Chicago's Loop, I then heard an announcement informing everyone to evacuate the building. Thinking this was nothing more than a fire drill, we all left thinking nothing. It was after I had looked at all of the Loop building entrances and realized this was no fire drill, as it seemed the entire city was emptying out onto the streets. Very few people knew what was happening at the time. I approached a woman leaving the Chicago Board of Trade and asked her if she knew what was happening. Her reply was a string of words that made little more sense than "twin towers are gone and the pentagon has been hit." Knowing only then that something wasn't right to say the least, I decided to get on a train home, along with much of the Loop population. After a 30 minute train ride in complete silence, I went home and turned on CNN. Awe-struck to say the least I watched intently as the constant replays of the plane hitting the second tower ran through my head. So many questions arose in my head that day, and unfortunately, not all of them still have an answer, even a year later.
