NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. As everyone else I saw it on tv. I had gone to pick up my son for our commute to work. We carpool. I came into his apartment just after the first plane hit. I could not believe what I saw and at first thought it was just an accident. After I dropped him off I stopped at Mcdonalds for breakfast. Their Tv's were on and just as I came in the second plane hit. People in the restuarant workers as well as customers were in shock. Some were close to tears. I left there and went to a local library. I had to wait for a few minutes for it to open. When the librarian came to the door she told us that the Pentagon had been hit and that the news people were not sure how many planes had been hijacked. I went home and turned on the TV just as the first building fell. The phone rang then and my husbands boss told him not to come to work because they were sending everyone home. See he works in Oak Ridge Tennessee. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I did not think it had changed, but it has. I no longer have that sense of security I once had. Every time I see an airplane flying over I look up. If it is really low or loud I still cringe. I wanted to travel to Europe, but now I am afraid to get on a plane. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? Each individual person who died. 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 I still feel it is just a symbol. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
