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 radio alarm went off at 6:08 AM (PST) with the voice of the morning announcer saying "an airplace has crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City". Although I immediately concluded it must be a small private airplane, something about it was highly troubling in the back of my mind. I turned on the TV and within minutes I watched the second airplane crash into the second tower. There was no longer any doubt -- this was the work of brilliantly evil terrorists. They had taken our own people, our own technology, our own innovations and our own cities, and in a devilishly twisted yet incredibly well executed way had turned it all against us. After a few minutes of numbing shock, I realized I had to call the employees of my company and tell them to stay at home and away from our downtown San Francisco office. This was not going to be just another day in the office. Indeed not. This day would be spent glued to the news, shaking our heads and slowly feeling our shock turn to anger and sadness. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. The largest change has been positive. I travel less, and stay at home and spend more time with my family. But whenever I attend public events such as an NFL game, I find myself being much more vigilant and observant. My awareness level of things around me has increased significantly. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? That the evils of the world -- evils like Hitler that most thought could never come back in these modern times -- still exist. They are never far from the surface of humanity. 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. No. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/.
