LC Story LC Story: Story Where were you on September 11, 2001 when you heard the news? (Please share your experience of learning of the events and what you did afterwards.) When I first heard of the attacks, I was driving in my car to school, listening to the radio. The DJs said something about a friend calling them to say a plane had crashed into the World Trade Towers. At that time, the DJs thought it was just a small plane and the whole thing might be a joke. I went to my first class without hearing any further information. When that class let out, I headed to the study area where I found half of our law school huddled around two televisions. I arrived in time to watch the two towers fall. LC Story: Memory What is your strongest memory of that day? My strongest memory of that day was the fear that lasted the first few hours of the ordeal where all of us were wondering what place of interest might be attacked next and if so, was it going to be by another plane, a bomb, or some other attack. After returning home that night, I also remember the numerous people who would approach the television with pictures of their loved ones, asking that their photographs be shown on television in an effort to find them. LC Story: Affects How do you perceive that the events of September 11, 2001 have affected this country and/or you personally? I believe that the events of 9/11 have made the country more patriotic in that people are more willing now to fly the flag outside of their homes or display it with pride on their clothing and cars. I also believe that people are now becoming more aware of how other nations perceive our lifestyle and that we are not perfect in everyone's eyes. I think that 9/11 has made us more aware of our place in this world and that we definitely not a country to ourselves.
