NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. It was an ordinary day like any other at work. I work for the town newspaper. Somewhere between 8:30 & 9:00 a co-worker came running out of the newspaper and said that a plane hit the World Trade Center. So we all got up and went into the newsroom to see it on TV. As we are standing we saw the 2nd plane hit. It was the most unbelievable thing I ever saw on TV. As we are all watching this horrific thing happening, I looked around at my co-workers and there are no words to describe the looks on their faces. Just disbelief. I started crying and so did few of my other co-workers. I will never forget that image. All day at work that is what we talked about. My son lives in Chicago and I knew he was suppose to go to Iowa for business that day. I called his sister and asked her to check on him. Because I knew all planes were grounded. To my relief she called me back immediately and said he was driving to Iowa and not flying. I was relieved. The whole day was spent thinking about this terrible thing that was happening to my country. When the 4th plane hit, I kept thinking "What is happening?!" I cried. I was scared. I felt like I had no protection. As everyone is saying, that is a day you will always remember what you were doing, just like President Kennedy. It really hit my 10 year old grandson hard. He is very patriotic now and is much more aware of the flag and what his country stands for. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how.
