Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in class and one of the students had receive a call from someone at there home. We all thought that maybe is was a little airplane that just strayed off course. Becasue it was a computer communications class, we started trying to pull CNN or some news organization. One of us had finally gotten through and then we saw the destruction. Class was silently dismissed and no one know what was going on. Also, cellphones started ringing and one was my husband who wanted me to go start home and I ask him what he was going to do because he worked for New York Life and the building is basically at the end of one of the runway. So, I went to the lower level of the student union becuase at that time I still had a class in the afternoon. When I got there I found the place full. It was so quiet with everyone just starring at the television. At that time, a plane had gone down in Pennsylvaina but the news reporters were not sure at the time. At about Noon, they decided to close school. The highway was unusually busy for that time of day. On my way home, I have to go across a bridge. And the whole time across, everyone drove slower than normal and all the drivers were checking each other out because no one was sure what was going on. I finally made it home and my husband came home a couple hours later. We spent the rest on the night just watching television tying to figure out what was happening Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
