Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: During the 9/11 attacks, I was in my home in Korea watching TV and browsing through channels when I got to the news channel. I was astonished to see that one of the World Trade Center Towers was on fire. While my mom was sleeping, I told her the news and brought her over to my room. She was surprised as well. Later, the second plane crashed into the second tower and that's when we were sure it was an act of terrorists. We weren't sure how our friends and relatives were because the people closest to us were in Korea then, but I believe we called my uncle in New York City in the district of Queens--which is pretty far away from Manhattan. I think we couldn't get connected because the phones were down then(which probably most people experienced). The first significant thing that happened to me as a result of the attack was the increased security at the airports when I was returning to the States. Security personnel were much more stricter than they used to be and it took forever to get through security. Over time we forgot about the attacks but every year the anniversaries remind us of the incident. 9/11 was like the events of terrorism going on in the Middle East today. It humiliated America which was thought as invincible. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
