NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I live in England and on September 11th 2001 I had just got home from shopping, it was about 2.30, the children were due home at 3. I turned on the tv and saw the aeroplane crashing into the twin towers, then the second plane. It was on every channel, I stared in shock and horror and my first thought was, "Oh my God, my sisters there." You see my sister Becky Wood was supposed to be in New York that day to return home from a long trek across America.I remember just sitting and crying and then phoning my mum who told me that the last she heard from Becky was when she was at the pentagon the previous day on a sight seeing trip. My tv was on all day and it wasn't till early evening that I had the phone call to say that she was alive but stranded in New York. I remember thinking that so many people had been affected by that day and I felt for them all. It was an agonising few days before my sister was back in England.Their tour guide had stuck with the group despite having lost contact with his own family. The most eerie thing was the next day, standing in my back garden, looking up in the sky and seeing no aeroplanes, the skies were absolutely silent. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? I would have thought there would have been an International day of Remembrance as it affected so many people, but as far as I am aware there is nothing. In this country we have poppy day in November to remember those who died in the war, why can't we have a September 11th day. I am doing this to remember in my own way. 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 made an American flag out of lego and put it on my shelf, and I bought all the newspapers, I still have them.
