Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I am a teacher; on 9-11-01, I was in my classroom at Biloxi High School. It was a class of 10th graders; the subject for them is World History. The end of the previous week, I had been talking of the beginnings of Islam. A fellow teacher came to my door to tell me that a plane had crashed into one of the Twin Towers; my classroom TV suddenly came on, and we saw the second plane hit. Some of my students acted like this was a movie or TV show; I said, "Folks, this is not something being done by some kind of special effects. This is really happening now -- right now, people are dying up there in New York. Don't think this is just for your entertainment -- this is real." I had the TV turned off so they could take a short test. When they finished, we turned it back on -- and I was so shocked then -- I said "Oh, my goodness!! That doesn't look like New York, it looks like the Pentagon.!" And a voice started speaking, saying we were looking at one wing of the Pentagon. A student teacher down the hall, who was about to retire from the Air Force and begin teaching, told us "I was most recently assigned, before coming to Keesler (Air Force Base) to the Pentagon; that plane has plowed into the area that is Army HQ. I have many friends there." And he was, of course, very upset. Throughout the day, both students and teachers were extremely upset, and my idealistic teenagers kept saying: "But how can this be happening? Here -- in the U.S. ?" And we had no answers for them, for we wondered, too. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
