Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My 1 year old daughter and I were getting ready to go on a play date when my husband called from BWI. He asked me if we had seen the news, a plane had flown into one of the world trade towers. He told me he missed his early AM flight and was waiting for the next one. He was watching TV in the airport, and while we were talking he said, "my god, another plane just hit the other tower!" We were talking about how it couldn't be an accident if it happened twice. It was so frightening. My husband missed his flight because he forgot his wallet. If he wasn't so absentminded (bless his heart) he would have been in the air when all this started, and likely had to land somewhere and been stranded when they stopped all air flight. As it was, he drove home and was able to be with us during this awful time. My daughter and I decided to go ahead to our playdate. We had no way to call my friend at that point to tell her we wouldn't come. We were meeting at Longwood Gardens, a beautiful public gardens near our home. I figured might as well be in a place I love with friends than home alone. So we went. I used to work there, so I knew the security guards. As we walked our babies around the gardens, we got updates, heard about the PA flight and the Pentagon. It was horrifying, but I was glad I was not alone. We had friends who had clients who lost staff in the events in NY. We knew people who lived in Manhattan. The events on 9-11 danced around us. Lucky for us, we weren't touched directly. But it was awful, just the same. Marina Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
