NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. Driving into my office parking lot, I heard Don Imus say that someone had just called in a plane that hit one of the towers. I figured it was a small private plane...but there was something in the announcers voices that made it seem more serious. I asked the receptionist to turn on her radio to keep tabs on it and about 10 minutes later she told me to get on the internet and check out what was happening. Someone brought a TV into the faculty lounge, so we could watch. The plane that hit in Pennslyvania scattered debris through Indian Lake, where I learned to waterski. We had great times up there. The President of the Institute sent out a message that campus was closed as of noon. I went to the Red Cross to give blood but the line was 4 hours long. I spent the rest of the day trying to find relatives and watching tv coverage. It took about 3 months for me to get back to a somewhat normal schedule of sleeping. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Mostly in air travel. But I don't mind. I just wish they'd get their act together. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? Things from that very day like the passengers who grounded the plane in Pa, and the off duty cops and firemen who ran into the crumbling buldings to save people. The way that people helped each other. 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 I did. My friends and I went looking for flags but none could be found. With in days, WalMart was having them shipped by the thousands. I think that's nice.
