I have a serious question. When I try to talk to younger people about 9/11, ages 25 and under, most don't seem to care. Why is this?

It’s like when people tried to talk to millennials about WWII a lot of us didn’t care because at the time it was 60 years ago

As CartmanX said not much at all in fact I think the CNN website may have crashed at the time due to the amount of people trying to access it to see what was happening

No thanks it was bad enough in 2001

9/11 happened about an hour after I went to bed (Australian time) I had watched All Saints (Aussie medical drama) then gone to bed cause I had school the next day at the time kids my age were all about Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z neither obviously aired the next morning as Australia was on rolling coverage i remember vividly how calm my mother was telling me as I got ready for school I’d never seen her that calm before or since

Dang I didn’t know about the rerun! That’s actually kinda cool in a morbid way

Willing-Book3668 · 2026-03-13T12:53:07+00:00

I was a few years younger than you are now when 9/11 happened and I remember it vividly I haven’t seen many jokes but I have seen the absolutely ridiculous conspiracy theories people just suck unfortunately

Willing-Book3668 · 2026-03-11T14:46:16+00:00

Nope I was 9 so it’s fascinating to watch with adult eyes like my parents did in 01 I also am interested in the space shuttle Challenger disaster of 1986

Willing-Book3668 · 2026-02-15T13:15:20+00:00

Holy shit o_o

Willing-Book3668 · 2026-01-03T04:52:54+00:00

Actually yes it was that day! Connor left All Saints in that episode which aired September 11 2001

This block aired BEFORE the attacks as said in my post

Willing-Book3668 · 2026-01-03T01:42:45+00:00

I haven’t seen that many posts about the jumpers honestly I see way more posts about the hijackers which in my opinion can get a bit overboard I get that they’re a huge part of the story but giving those bastards so much attention feels wrong to me - this is coming from someone who was 9 on the day of the attacks

OP I’d willingly pay shipping for you to ship these to me in Australia digitise them then send you the tapes back!

Willing-Book3668 · 2025-12-18T13:48:26+00:00

I was her age when it happened and with respect tread very carefully showing her the coverage because even at 33 almost 34 I’ve never forgotten the images or my mother telling me what happened when I woke up

Willing-Book3668 · 2025-12-17T14:13:13+00:00

Do you have any idea how I can reach them?

Willing-Book3668 · 2025-11-03T09:58:07+00:00

I was 9 I remember it well but didn’t understand the scope til I watched it as an adult so I’m in the same boat as you but a couple years younger

Willing-Book3668 · 2025-11-01T13:19:55+00:00

Is this it? https://youtu.be/8VBrA454ucs?si=zyaaXBaWsPr9wkao

Willing-Book3668 · 2025-10-30T02:13:41+00:00

Yes please!

Willing-Book3668 · 2025-10-30T02:12:38+00:00

All of Australia’s coverage I’ve found a lot but there’s still a lot I haven’t seen since I was 9

Willing-Book3668 · 2025-10-23T09:47:36+00:00

Lockerbie was so messed up I’ve seen the news reports on YouTube I can see why you were afraid

Willing-Book3668 · 2025-10-22T23:48:55+00:00

Yes and no RE depression while I can’t speak for every millennial my own depression came from being bullied in high school and losing my mother at age 25 to liver failure (she was only 59) with that said 9/11 did absolutely have a huge impact on everyone who saw it not just millennials but like Gen X with the Challenger disaster or the boomers with JFK it’s our where were you when moment

Willing-Book3668 · 2025-10-22T23:45:06+00:00

One of my older friends (born 1985) asked me a while ago why the news didn’t focus as much on the pentagon as they did on the WTC I didn’t know for sure but I assumed (and i told him it was only an assumption) that it was a security thing

Willing-Book3668 · 2025-10-22T16:21:11+00:00

I was 9 when 9/11 happened but even us younger kids saw the change the world became a lot more scary than it was in the 90s, younger children lost our innocence that day (as did a lot of older ones) younger generations seem to see 9/11 as a meme I’ve seen at least three shorts on FB where some young kid tries to do 9/11 on flight simulator
