NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I was in Tech Ed, 2nd hour and the tracher had the tv on. I came in with the rest of the class and I thought that it was terrible to make a movie like that. Then I found out I was watching real people die and the shock settled in. We watched the replay of the first plane then later at nine another image came on the tv in Soc Studies, a second plane had hit the WTC tower. They had both been hit, I wonder if it would be different if only one had been hit. Everyone naturally thought the next target was the Statue of Liberty. Then we found out it was the pentagon. Who were these terrorist who were trying to demolish our nation? Somebody was talking about Muslim terrorist and some guy named bin Laden who is now America's most wanted criminal. It was really strange because the day before, on September 10th 2001 my church held an all church prayer and prayed for the country. I didn't go to it because it was a school night but that was really weird for our church because it was like we predicted it. Later we heard and watched as another plane in Pennsylvania who was thought to be heading to the capitol or White House. It was very sad and it still is when you see all those tv shows that had the Twin Towers in them. Right away I thought about my cousin who flew with United and he was on duty that day. I found out later that he was okay, but his friend had died in the tragedy. It was the saddest day I'd ever known. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Yes, all of our lives has changed. Even if you don't realize it, it has. More people respect America because we proudly stood up and took charge. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? The mothers, the fiancees, the husbands, the sons and daughters who died in the tragedy. Ordinary people died and like the poem we read in english they are only one of millions of people. The heroes that gave their lives to try and save others. All the people that were involed need to be remembered. NMAH Story: Flag Did you fly an American flag after the events of September 11th?
