911DA Story: Story
1. How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience.
I stayed home from work that morning. The cable guy was coming to hook up our digital cable. The cable guy arrived between the time that the second plane hit the north tower and the south tour collapsed and I wouldn't let him shut off the cable. Then we heard about the plane going down in Pennsylvania and that made me kind of worried about our families who live there. Then I was glad to hear that no one on the ground was hurt in Pennsylvania.
2. Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so tell us how.
Yes, I have gotten strip-searched at the airport and I no longer carry a nail-file when I travel.
3. What do you think should be remembered about September 11th?
Certainly, all the people that died, the innocent people that died. I hope that the United States government will learn and tighten immigration.
4. 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?
Yes. No, it still means the same thing to me.
