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 first heard around 8:50 am that morning, as I was on email with a friend. A co worker had just arrived and began telling us that a plane (Flight 11) hit the North Tower of the NYC WTC Complex. Upon hearing this, I (and my co worker) ran into another room to turn on the tv...we got it on and in tune just in time to see United Flight 175 hit the South Tower. From that moment on, we ran back and forth from the tv room to our offices, making phone calls and sending emails to our loved ones, making sure they were ok and letting them know we were ok (I work at a government facility). Essentially, this was the routine until we were dismissed at 12:30 that afternoon. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Good question. I'm not sure if my life has changed, but I do know the way I look at certain things have definitely. For instance, I didn't pay much attention to things around the world. Now, I can't get enough info on other societies, other ways of life. in that sense, my eyes were opened. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? The courage and strength of those who perished - one way or another, EVERY SINGLE VICTIM FOUGHT BACK. Whether it was through taking back a plane, climbing a staircase to help another, or finding the strength and courage to call their loved ones under such diress - they are all heroes. 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? Been flying one since I was a little girl. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
