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 got into work on September 11, 2001 hearing on the local radio that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. I thought to myself that it must be a small one or two man plane and kept on working. Then the radio announcer interupted a song to say another plane crashed into the World Trade Center and they were passanger planes. I was in disbelief! I immediatley tried to find any information I could on the internet. I had a very hard time getting onto the news web sites because there was too much traffic on those sites. I finally got onto CNN.com. For the rest of the day I watched CNN on the internet. I saw the collapse of both towers live. It was so heartbreaking because I knew at that moment so many people just died. When I got home that night I hugged my girls and watched the news solid for the rest of the day & following week. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life has changed since September 11, 2001. Every time I fly I think about what was going through the minds of the passangers when they new the plane was going to crash. I look at everyone & everything differently now. I try to live my life to the fullest because you never know if you could loose it all tomorrow. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think everything should be remembered, it should never be forgotten! 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? We flew a flag in our garden & lite a candle. My feelings for the flag have not changed. As a little girl I always admired the American flag. Americans have such pride in there country, I admire that, it is beautiful.
