Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I woke up September 11th just as an ordinary day. I woke up at 5:30 am, took a shower, got dressed, did my hair and make-up, ate a quick breakfast and ran out the door to get to school on time. Throughout the morning I didn't hear any news about what was happening in New York and Washington, D.C. Although around 10:30 am, about two minutes before the bell rang so I could go drive home for lunch, our principal came on the intercom and explained to us that there were two planes that crashed OVER the WTC's. She gave us wrong information, maybe to protect our feelings and keep the school calm because a lot of our parents work in the city. She was letting some kids go down to her office to make phone calls if we were worried. Luckily I didn't know of any relatives or friends that worked up there so as soon as the bell rang I went out to my car and was going to head home. On my walk to my car I heard kids saying that the towers collapsed and a plane hit the Pentagon. I was so confused I had no idea what was going on. On the way home I heard on the radio that there were terrorist attacks on the USA. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The DJ said that two planes hit the WTC's and another one hit the Pentagon. As soon as I got into my front door I ran to the television turned it on and saw chaos. I sat down and just covered my mouth in shock. They played the footage of the planes crashing and later on I saw the two buildings collapse. People were talking on the news screaming that they couldn't find their loved ones. The pain and anger immediately hit me, I started to cry and pray to God that these people find peace. I called my father who works near Jersey City and he told me that he saw everything. I still can not believe the images I see when the pictures or videos come onto the television. It was a nightmare I'll never forget. A couple of my friends who lived up north around Newark lost their aunts, uncles, cousins, parents. I just hope we catch that devil and bring him to justice. The pain and suffering still goes on but life must also. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
