NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. I didnt see the terror live, I was then working the midnight shift and sleeping in the am's. I slept through all the news oblivious to what had happened. My girlfriend was working the day shift and upon her arriving at home I was woken up and she was yelling "We're under attack!", I felt I was dreaming because well it just couldnt have been. I seen the news around 5pm est, I was floored with disbelief, angered at the the terrorists, and feeling for all the people that had to go through it all. NMAH Story: Life Changed Has your life changed because of September 11, 2001? If so, tell us how. Ive lost my job of 5 years, the company I worked for was a supplier for General Electric Aircraft Engines and most of our workload was to this customer which supplied mostly the commercial airlines in the US. I feel more patriotic than ever before, and I loved my country all my life. Ive lost my job, everything I worked for the 5 years at my company, but still I feel fortunate not to be directly involved like the victims and families of everyone involved in that tragedy. NMAH Story: Remembered What do you think should be remembered about September 11th? Those people on the flights that hit the buildings, the WTC towers, The heros of the local police and fire dept's, all the people that helped in rescue efforts and rebuilding afterward's.
