Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: We were all busy with making the videogame we'd be working on for the past year. A friend poked his head over the cubicle divider behind me to tell me that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Centre....in my mind I imagined it was a small light aircraft that had somehow lost control and crashed...a tragic accident, but nothing close to the truth. A few of us went out a few minutes later for a smoke, and my friend was out there too...he informed us that a SECOND plane had crashed...no-one believed him, and assumed he had his wires crossed; he'd read two different news reports about the same accident, obviously. It occurred to me then that if indeed there were TWO planes involved, then it HAD to be intentional...but I never thought it would be as organised as it turned out to be; I presumed it to be a disgruntled psychotic employee, or indeed two of them, to be behind it. When we returned inside to the building there was a buzz in the office; people were checking news websites, TV's were being unplugged from their usual testing consoles and aeriels were being dusted off....the game was forgotten for the moment. There followed a period of an hour where nobody knew just what was going on...The Pentagon had been targeted?? Rumous of more inbound US jets abounded...for 5 hours that day my world was upside down. The rest of the afternoon was a haze; I called my girlfriend at home (she's from the USA) and we spoke about it; my colleagues and I, my closest friends, huddled around a small tv screen and watched with horror as the two towers fell...a memory that will stay with me forever. My heart goes out to all those in the USA with families affected by this tragedy...I may be English, but God Bless America. xxx Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
