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. My 11 September 2001 experience occurred within the Pentagon. I was on the fifth floor, "E" ring directly above the point of Flight 77 impact. I had no idea what caused the explosion, but knew the event was catastrophic based on the immediate structural damage in my area. For several minutes, I navigated through the damage and smoke in "E" ring to Corridor 4, which was completly filled with thick black smoke from the fire of the crash. In the area of "C" ring, the smoke cleared and I was able to reach "A" ring without further obstacles. I was unharmed physically and safely exited the Pentagon. I spent the next 2 - 3 hours walking to my hotel through the streets of a relativly quiet Washington. All traffic was at a stand still and everyone stood in disbelief. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I realize that our country is vulnerable to domestic disturbances. I have therefore become more cautious in urban environments and at large public events. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? Regardless of our domestic strength, we should constantly be vidual to our weaknesses and alert to threats from rogue nations or groups. 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?
