I remember this day. Was a wee lad. We were on vacation. The TV was on and apparently it was the news. I don't remember if it's breaking news but it might not be, since we're 12 ish hours different time zones, and I remember seeing it at day time.

Well, I was in the third grade when 9/11 happened, and there was never any kind of formal education about it, because we had all just experienced it. Kids just a few years younger than me wouldn't remember it at all, but likely still wouldn't have learned about it in school yet. That's probably where this guy falls
I had to do a bunch of my own learning about the gulf war. Similarly, it happened before I was born but recent enough that history teachers didn't consider it history. I now think it set the stage for a lot of the US geopolitically and I really should've learned about it in school.

Is that a hotel front desk?
2001 or 1973?
