NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I was at work and overheard a co-worker mention two airplane's had crashed into the World Trade Center. I went online but all news web sites were overloaded, I could not bring up any web sites. Then I went to Yahoo broadcast to listen to the Manhatten Police Scanner but that too was overloaded and I could not connect. They had another link for the Long Island Police frequency which I was able to connect to. I was listening as they were organizing and loading firefighters and firetrucks on ferry boats from Long Island to Manhatten. As I listened, you could hear the terror in the voices on the frequency. And then I heard the following conversation which still brings chills up my spine. Voice one, "The south tower collapsed!" Voice two, "What, you mean the top?" Voice one, "No, no, the whole building collapsed, the south tower is gone." Office management had placed a TV in the executive meeting room where employees went to view the horor on national TV. Part of me still could not beleave what I was told was happening and what I just heard over the Long Island Police frequency. I went down to the executive meeting room to see it on TV and seen the horor I was just listening too. Management closed the office at noon.
