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 was sleeping until my mom woke me up at 6:30. She told me that one of the towers on the World Trade Center had been hit. My first thought was, what are the World Trade Centers? When I got up and looked at the tv I realized it was the twin towers- and just as I had started watching the second plane hit the other tower. It scared me so much that I started crying. Then after I had gotten out of the shower (while listening for any new news on the radio) I watched as they said that the pentagon had been hit. At that point I did not want to go to school. After I had gotten dressed I watched as both towers fell to the ground. After I had gotten to school, I went into a classroom where they had a tv set up and I watched it till it was time to go to class. Near the end of the day, I was in my science class and we were all watching the tv when they showed the most horrific scene that is still fresh in my mind one year later. They had filmed people falling from the building because they had jumped out of the windows. That scene will never leave my mind. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. YES! It has made me more aware of my country and other countries accross seas. It has also made me get very scared whenever a plane flys overhead. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? How couragous those people were who ran in the towers just as they knew they were about to collapse. Those are the brvest people that I will ever know because I know i could never be able to do what they did, risk their lives for strangers. 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 have tried to fly a flag everyday since the tragic day of 9/11. I have also put red, white, and blue ribbons, braided, on my backpack to remeber that those are the colors that bind this country and hold it together.
