Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: ON SEPT 11, 2001 THE MORNING BEGAN VERY SIMPLY. I WAS AT HOME WITH MY HUSBAND AND CHILDREN. WE WERE ALL IN GREAT MOODS. IT WAS AN ABSOLUTLY BEAUTIFUL DAY. WE DIDNT EVEN HAVE THE TV ON. WE MADE A BIG BREAKFAST AND PLAYED WITH THE KIDS. THEN I GOT READY AND WENT TO WORK AROUND 840AM. IN THE CAR I TURNED ON MY RADIO. SUDDENLY EVERY STATION BEGAN TO REPORT ON THE PLANES CRASHING. BY THE TIME I GOT TO WORK ALL 4 PLANES HAD GONE DOWN. I WENT INSIDE THE BUILDING AND EVERYONE WAS UPSET. MANY PEOPLE HAD FAMILY IN THE EFFECTED AREAS. THEY LEFT EARLY. I DO CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR UPS. ALL THE REST OF THE DAY WE HAD PHONE CALLS FROM CUSTOMERS WANTING TO KNOW IF SERVICE WAS AFFECTED. ALL OF THEM WERE UPSET AND WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IT. AS MORE NEWS CAME, UPS BEGAN POSTING INFORMATION FOR THE EMPLOYEES ON THE INFORMATION PAGE. OUR SUPERVISORS PRINTED THEM AND PASSED THEM OUT TO KEEP US UP TO DATE. A TV WAS PLACED IN THE CAFETERIA. AS MORE NEWS BECAME AVAILABLE, LESS AND LESS CALLS CAME IN. MY ENTIRE DEPARTMENT WAS UPSET AND ANGRY. WE JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. HOWEVER, WE ALL AGREED WE WERE GONNA TAKE ACTION ON WHOEVER DID IT. THAT NIGHT I WENT HOME AND STAYED GLUED TO THE TV. I AM SO GLAD TO BE BLESSED WITH MY HUSBAND AND CHILDREN. I FELT VERY LUCKY. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
