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 the news on the radio on my way to school. I thought that the radio people were lying. I never thought that anyone would fly a plane into the Twin Towers. Then in 2nd period World Geography, we watched the news. When the news broadcasters said that there were thoughts of more terrorists attacks at Los Angeles International Airport, I cried. I was so afraid of terrorist attacks at the airport. My dad had designed a new cargo building for Asiana Airlines, which was where he worked. The new building was located on Airport property. I didn't know what to think. I was so scared. LAX was shut down for a couple hours. That made me even more worried. The attacks that were predicted for L.A. never happened, which was relieving, but the events that happened in New York will be remembered forever. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. On September 12, my English class wrote essays about how we felt about the attacks. Some people wrote touching essays that made people cry. For a lot of people it numbed the anger and confusion. Overall, my pride, not life has changed. I am more prideful in my country. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? The thing that should be remembered about September 11th is how the United States of America became a stronger country. Even though we struggled for a while after the attacks, we became a closer, bonded country. 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? Actually, I didn't fly an American flag after the 11th, but that weekend I carried a little flag with me where ever I went. Both my parents also have American flag stickers on their cars.
