At least 70 million people have been born in the United States since September 11, 2001. Millions more were alive at the time but too young to remember one of the darkest and most consequential days in American history. If you are one of these people, how do you view the attacks?
For many young people, the day feels real, having been shown the horrifying photos and videos of the Twin Towers falling and having heard the phone calls made to loved members from the passengers and crew on board Flight 93. For others, the widespread impact of that day hits closer to home.
