NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. One of the first person to arrive to work at 632 Broadway (NOho area) i remeber getting a voice mail from Chantal Vincelli asking me to find her a sales kit and take it over to here at 1 world trade, where the a Financial conference was to take place. My first reaction was, Im scared of HEIGHTS.. I called her on her celllphone and asked if she found what she needed and she replied" odont worry I have it.. hey whats for lunch?" I said listen girl its 8:40 in the am, are you crazy! she says back "wait for me and we'll do our everyday lunch" and ends the conversation with "I love you" I say "ditto" that would be the last time I hear her voice, her laughter. 5-10 minutes later I get a call from Rajesh MIrpuri saying "a bomb went off" we're fine but tell us what u want us to do. I quickly told our CEO and he informed me to call emergency services. we all tuned our radios and computers to msnbc and heard " plane crashes into WTC" 15 mintues pass, choas is finding its way down Braodway and I go down walk to the corners of Mulblurry and Greene(i think) I looked up and saw this ohter plane coming straight into the other tower.. as 1,000s of us just watched in amazement this fireball crashes into 2 world trade, I quickly lost the ground under my foot and fainted! I suddenly realized "hey, we have 4 employees up there"! a few other co-workers brought me back from what I thought was a nightmare. ONce in our office, wifes, brothers, sisters, mothers wre showing up or calling asking for their loved us.. we lost 4 employees, co-workers , family and friends on that faithful day; 3 unrecovred but presummed dead. It is a day that will live forever in my heart. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how.

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 did..
