Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had a seminar about computer programs when suddenly an SMS-message arrived. After some minutes I looked at the message from a news-magazin ... the sms was something like "A tower of the WTC was hit by an airplane..". I was disturbed and at first did not believe the message. I few seconds later there was another sms "the second tower was also hit by an airplane.." My next thought was, where is the next TV, and I asked the professor. He asked me, why I wanted to watch television. I said "the world is burning and we sit here doing some stupid computer stuff." Everyone looked at me. I told what I had recently read on my cell phone. Most of the people looked at my like I was crazy, and worked on. I went up to the front desk and asked there for the next TV which was in the second floor. Around the TV I found a few people who were not able to speak, more and more arrived during the next minutes. We only looked on the TV-set and the only comment you heared from time to time was "This is war". About half an hour later my pregnant wife was calling my on the phone. She told me, that she was very afraid, to stay home alone on this night. I saw the towers collapsing. After that left Nuremberg back to Frankfurt where we live. I think we sat the hole night in front of our TV, not believing what we see. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
