Title A name given to the resource Library of Congress Stories Description An account of the resource A collection of more than 200 user-submitted stories gathered from the Library of Congress's "Witness and Response" exhibition staged in 2002. 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.) I'd been at work for about 1/2 hour, and was watching the news as the second plane hit. I was scheduled to go to a meeting in another part of the city and listened to the news broadcasts all the way there. The reality of the horror didn't really sink in until my meeting - and work - was cancelled, and I was heading home. Listening to the horror in hardened reporters' voices, hearing one break down and start to cry; the horrible destruction not just of buildings but of a way of life. A belief in ourselves and a basic sort of trust in others. LC Story: Memory What is your strongest memory of that day? The looks of horror on the faces of those people racing out of the clouds of dust and debris from the falling buildings. They truly came out of the jaws of Hell. LC Story: Affects How do you perceive that the events of September 11, 2001 have affected this country and/or you personally? The attacks were a harsh awakening for the American public. I don't think, until then, any of us were truly aware of just how vulnerable our country is to this sort of attack (we still are).
