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 going to work over the Tappan Zee Bridge, when I looked to the right towards NYC and saw a thick column of black smoke. I was listening to WPLJ and the radio with Scott and Todd and I remember they broke the news that the tower was hit. There was so much confusion. I remember most a woman who called from the other tower to report what she was seeing; the DJ's told her they were thankful for the report, but suggested that maybe she needed to evacuate the building. She replied,: well, the loudspeakers are telling us to stay where we are and that we are okay." Then the second plane hit. I will always wonder if that woman made it out alive. That day I had my cousin working in one of the towers, and my boyfriend in the city with all cell phones down. Both were okay; my cousin never even made it into work due to a late bus. I did, however, lose a very good friend, Officer John D. Levi, of the Port Authority Police Department. I miss him so much. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Of couse it has. I am fearful of our future and for the future of my ten year old daughter. I learned that no where is safe after that day. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think we should remember that life goes on, and so we should live it to the fullest. Focus on the living instead of the dead. If nothing else, that should be the lesson of 9-11. 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 did. Before this, I didnt beleive in the flag, and I never stood at any public event that played the national anthem. Now, I stand...and I feel proud to be an american.
