Personal Accounts of 9/11
All of this web links are personal accounts of the effects of 9/11. Most articles are in the point of view of adults, but in one of the articles, it is in the point of view of a child. All of these resources are reliable. They range from New York Magazine to The Weather Channel. Each article has a different point of view, but they are all valid interpretations of the events of 9/11. Some of these pages are even in blog form with dates and times, which I like a lot.

New York Magazine is a credible and famous magazine. There is no doubt about it. What makes this article unique is that it includes the points of view of 16 different individuals. This article gives good detail and tells a story, which I think rather than reading facts, makes these events more relatable.

I like this article because it is in blog format, with dates and times. It makes you feel like you're there. You can follow along. However, this website may not be as reliable as others. The Noe Valley Voice is not a well known periodical. But the facts seem factual to me.

This one is also in blog format. It is in a blog, but not written by the author. It is said to be written by a friend's son. This also may not be as reliable as other sources, but it does share some information on how the child felt before, during and after the attacks.

This article comes from The Weather Channel website. Peculiar, I know. But it is in the point of view of a weather person who was out reporting the weather when the attacks were happening. The Weather Channel is a very reliable and well known source.

This article comes from pbs.org, which is a well known website and television channel. This article is kind of cool, in that it has many, many different points of view. Young, old, man, woman, child. Everyone has a story and everyone can share it. They all can touch on something that affected them.

An 9/11 Obituary
Mary Smith, age 42, was survived by her husband, Steve, and three children, ages 16, 14 and 8. She passed on Sept. 11, 2001 in the World Trade Center with nearly 3,000 other victims. But rather than dwell on the sad, her family and friends wanted to take this opportunity to share their fondest of Mary. A hard worker, Mary was devoted to her family and her job. Her bubbly personality made it easy for anyone to befriend her. Born in New York, Mary had always been a city girl and wanted nothing else but to continue to work and live there in her adult life. Together, she and her husband raised a wonderful family. The hardest thing about losing Mary everyone says—she touched so many lives and now has been taken away. Memorial plans are to be announced at a later time.
