    He doesn’t look that young.

    Eh, 9/11 was ~25 years ago. And if we assume that a child under the age of, say, 5 wouldn’t be interested in such things and wouldn’t be exposed to it much, especially if not in the US … then someone could feasibly be up to 30 years old right now and have been too young to notice or care when 9/11 happened.

    And I don’t know about your age standards … but this guy looks like he could easily be under 30.

      I’m very squarely in that age bracket and it was hard to ignore 9/11 if you were at all exposed to any media. I can’t imagine anyone 25-30 managing to entirely ignore 9/11 even without teachers talking about it. Maybe someone with the absolute peak of sheltering could ignore it. But outside of that I can’t imagine anyone in the US 25-30 having no clue.
