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 witnessed this event at Thompson Middle School around about 9:00 and 9:30a.m. I was in 2nd period in history class. It kinda strange i was in History class duiring a part of history. Our teacher Ms. Gaydon was shocked when she found out that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. She turned on her T.V. and we watched the live action of the buildings on fire. Everyone was really scared. I saw the buildings crumble to the ground which shocked me even more. I also saw he people running away from the falling building because a big cloud of dust and ash from the buildings was smothering the whole city. After my teacher turned off the T.V. all i could think about is how much i hate the people who did this to our country. I will never forget the day of September 11, 2001. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. My life has changed a little bit. I'm still scared because i'm worried about another attack, but i know our armed forces will protect us from any more attacks and we will find Osama bin Laden. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I think the rescue effort after the attacks should be remembered the most about September 11th. Many people died when the plane crashed into the building and when the builing collapsed but still willing to save lives the FDNY came and pulled the crumbled peices up and manged to save many lives. They spent days and days looking for anyone they could . Without them many people would had died under the collapsed building. Even just people around the ity came to help save others and that shows a lot of heroism toward our country. Americans will never give up. 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? I didnt carry a flag but my feelings toward the flag have changed tremendously. Every time i say the Pledge os Alligence, I remember the day of 9/11/01 and just think of the people who died in the World Trade Centers and the rescue effort to save lives. I also feel hatred toward Osamas bin Laden because he is a coward and he wont come out from hiding. So the flag has ment a lot to me ever since the terriorist attacks.
