Excerpt: 

"Where Were You When America Was Attacked?"
This site exists to gather the thoughts and emotions of everyday people to the events on and after September 11, 2001.

Annotation: 

The production of three college students, Where Were You? invited visitors to share their experiences of the attacks of September 11, 2001. Between September 15, 2001 and September 15, 2002 more than 2,500 stories were collected through the website. The stories are grouped by state, country, and age and the text is fully searchable. The contributors were of all ages and came from many locations, making this a noteworthy collection of personal narratives of the September 11 attacks.
