Title A name given to the resource "September 11: Bearing Witness to History" Stories Submitted Online Description An account of the resource Visitors to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History's, "Bearing Witness to History" online exhibition submitted these reflections beginning in 2002. NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I was in the middle of Biology class and a kid from my class came in, saying his mother was picking him up because he was sick, but while he was on the phone he heard that a plane crashed into the WTC. I figured it was probably a suicidal person in one of those tiny propeller planes. After Biology I went to lunch and it seemed that all hell broke loose. Rumors spread like wildfire. Saying both towers of the WTC were hit by big 767 Jets and the upper halves of both towers were demolished. I heard the Sears Tower was destroyed. The mall of Washington DC was on fire, and the Pentagon was hit. I thought the pentagon story was totally rediculous. But the class after lunch the principal came onto the PA system and announced to the whole school that the Pentagon was indeed hit and both towers of the WTC were completely gone. I was horrified, angered, saddened, shocked, and a whole bunch of other feelings that I couldn't describe. I'm very patriotic and this hit me very deeply. Upon returning home from school, I watched the many hours of news coverage. September 11th, 2001 was the worst day I've ever had. I will never forget it. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. I watch the news more often. Check cnn.com at least once a day. And I am definently more proud to be an American. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? The American lives that were lost. And those who rushed to the aid of the fallen victims. NMAH Story: Flag Did you fly an American flag after the events of September 11th? Have your feelings about the American flag changed as a result of September 11th? I fly an American flag outside my house as a result of what happened. And my feelings toward that flag are no different than it was before, I have and will always love my country.
