Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at college, ECU, and had just left my health class for lunch. All the TVs that were usually showing music videos and other college related media, were now only focusing on the WTC fire. The first plane had collided with the building and the news casts were speculating if it were an accident or intentional. Then like in slow motion, the TV newscasts captured the 2nd plane hitting the other tower of the trade buildings, my heart was full of disbelief and sadness. We all, a room of 150 or more, sobbing like babies. How could this be happening? Not to our Nation! Then the reports of the Pentagon and the Pennsylvania flight. Was the world ending? Was this the way it was to start? All kinds of questions rang around the room and the room fell silent. The murmur of the TVs were all that was present. Sadness. A room full of strangers became one. We all felt the same thing, we all reacted the same way. We were America and we would stand together! So Bin Laden you may have got some of our people, and you may have taken away some of our national landmarks, but YOU created us stronger and more aware of brotherhood than we ever were before. We will not be so off guard ever again. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
