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 turned on the TV to catch up on the news from the night before. Tower One had already been hit but there was not, at that time, an indication that we were under attack. I watched and listened in horror to the reports of eyewitnesses; many who indicated that it was a small plane that had crashed into the North Tower. Minutes later, in one split second, it became apparent to me that we were indeed under attack. In that split second the second plane came into view on the TV screen. I KNEW at that second what those in control of the second plane had in mind....I KNEW IT and all I could do was watch it happen. WHAT A FEELING OF TOTAL HOPELESSNESS! I wanted to hit a "Pause" button so that I could prevent the inevitable. I wanted to do SOMETHING but realized that I could do NOTHING... And then it happened... Flight 175 careened into the side of the South Tower. What I din't know until hours later was that my sister's son- in-law, Brian Sweeney, was on United 175. May God rest his soul and bring peace and closure to his wonderful wife, Julie. We love you. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Make today a day that counts in your life, for tomorrow may never come. Tell those in your life today that you love them for tomorrow may never come. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? The innocent victims and those who tried to save them and all of their families and loved ones. 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? Yes, I flew the flag both before and after September 11, 2001. I see the flag only as a symbol of my country. The more important thing to me is the values of the citizens and leaders of my country.
