NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I was working and someone came by and said a plane just flew into the World Trade Center. I was puzzled at first. I had decided to call my mom, who was at home, at the time of the attacks. All I could here was her TV, and my mom saying "Oh my God, another one just hit." I could not believe what my ears where hearing. Her and I started to dicuss the situation. Then it was confirmed a plane hit the Pentagon. My heart stopped. One of my closed and dear friends works there. I instantly started to cry. By this time I had told my mom I would see her in a bit. I hung up the my phone, and it rang right back. I was my daughters daycare center. Telling me to come and get her because the center was closing. I let my employer know that I would be spending the rest of this day with my daughter, and mother. I walked into the daycare center, and everyone was in shock. Teachers were crying because they had family members in NYC. After grabbing my daughter, and heading to my mothers home. I arrived too hear that a plane just went down in PA. ( the state that I am from)My mother and I sat there and cried about the whole situation and could not believe what we were seeing on TV. It was the scariest day in my life and I know that I will remeber it forever. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how.
