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 in school at the time the planes crashed into the World Trade Centers. People were going around saying that a plane crashed into the World Trade Center, but we just thought they were kidding. Not everyone knew what had happened yet, plus it seemed like such an impossible thing to happen. Everyone realized what was going on when the teachers started turning the tvs on and our principal announced to us over the pa system that a plane had hit one of the World Trade Centers. The worry of tests and homework went away as we all watched the televisions and prayed for the people in the buildings. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Since i'm a student pilot right now, it is a longer process to get clearence for flight lessons. After they found out that the terrorists were taking flight lessons before September 11th, they put more restrictions on student pilots. After September 11th, where we could fly was also limited. There were certain no fly-zones that we were not allowed to enter. Inadvertently or directly, we all have been affected by September 11th. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? Everyone has to remember that it was a horrible day. We need to remember what happened so we can prevent something like this from ever happening again. For the people who lost loved ones on that day, it is probably hard to think about it, but we need to honor the people that risked their lives to help the men and women in those buildings. 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?
