NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I was in 8th grade the year that september 11th occured. When I woke up that day for school walked down stairs and I saw my mom watching TV in the living room (which often doesnt happen so early in the morning). I walked into the room and I saw on that one of the twin towers was on fire in result of a head on collision with a plane. I immediately became glued to the TV as i watched as crowds began form in front of the buildings. Then suddenly a seconded plane crashed into the second tower thus indicateing that the first crash was not an accident. Suddenly fear rushed through my body, being only 13 at the time i was devistated to think that we were being invaded. Though my residence was so far from NYC (I lived in Orange County, CA), I i felt somewhat discomfort and the thought that the superior country of United States of America was some how eing ambushed. Although I may have been over reacting, probably as a result of being a young naive adolescent, I went to school that day not knowing was would happen next. A few girls at my school were crying because of the horrible event, i but refused to shed any tears. I am just thankful that none of my family of friends were there at the Twin Towers or Pentagon. My heart goes out to those vistoms families. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how.
