Title A name given to the resource "September 11: Bearing Witness to History" Stories Submitted Online Description An account of the resource Visitors to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History's, "Bearing Witness to History" online exhibition submitted these reflections beginning in 2002. NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I walked into my third period class,my teacher hd the television on and was staring at it. At this time the first plane had already hit and I stood there in amazement as the second plane hit the second building. It was horrible to watch all of the innocent people dieing for no reason. I remember people walking down the halls talking about it. I remember staring at the television watching the planes hit the buildingsand also watching the replays of how the tragedy unfolded. The school told us that the television had to be turned off and that the teachers had to go on with the lesson as planned. It made me very angry because I think that we have a right to know what is going on. It was upsetting to see people crying and poeple worried about what would happen next. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. 9/11 affected my life very much. It made me very cautious to do anything. I basically didn't want to do anything but stay at home, where I knew I was safe. A few months after September 11 I had to pick someone up from the airport with my mom. It was very scary and i didn't know what would happen. A lot of those feelings have surpassed, but sometimes I even get scared when i hear a plane close by. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think that all of the people that lost their lives, either in the buildings, on the planes, all of the fire fighters, and all of the civilians, should be remembered. I will never forget all of the brave fire fighters and police officers that went into the buildings to save the people and may have lost their lives. All of the ceremonies held for all of the innocent people that lost their lives was beautiful. 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?
