I was wondering the same thing and was wondering what an 18 year old thinks of 911.
We saw it and lived it.
I like to remember how,in the heat of the moment, people came together and helped each other out,regardless of color,gender or political views.

I think that kids who grew up after 9/11 or were too young to remember things before then really can't know what older people do. Not really. They can watch old TV shows and listen to music from back in the day but they weren't here before 9/11. They don't remember the innocence that was lost there.

Sorry to be "that guy", but it is all a matter of perspective. For Americans, the innocence may have been lost. For Brits, we had already had 40 - 50 years of IRA bombings by that point. This was just larger scale.
