Some Americans Forget What Year 9/11 Happened


(KUTV) WASHINGTON, D.C. - According to a recent telephone survey, roughly 30 percent of Americans can't remember what year the September 11th attacks happened.

95 percent of Americans questioned in the poll do remember the month and the day of the attacks, according to Wednesday's edition of the Washington Post. But when asked about the year, 30 percent could not give a correct answer.

Of that group, six percent gave an earlier year, eight percent gave a later year, and 16 percent admitted they had no idea whatsoever.

This memory black hole is essentially the problem of the older crowd: 48 percent of those who did not know were between the ages of 55 and 64, and 47 percent were older than 65, according to the poll.

I think it's worth posting this because I see some surveys on cuntspiracy sites saying that 30% of Americans think that the US government was responsible for 9-11.

Hmmm...

There was a memorial plaque at ground zero for 2 years which inscription read 9.11.2000

It was there 2 years before a visitor noticed the incorrect date and alerted someone.

Ground Zero Typo Caught After Two Years

World Trade Center memorial sign placed attacks one year later

JULY 15--In an embarrassing governmental gaffe, an official tribute sign erected on the fence surrounding Ground Zero actually misstated the date of the terror attacks, a glaring mistake addressed only after a visitor recently complained about the error. The sign, which memorialized victims killed in the Pentagon attack, noted that "September 11, 2002" was a pivotal day for the country and the world (below you'll find a photo showing a segment of the sign). Click here to see an image of the Pentagon memorial in its entirety. The large metal sign, one of several erected on the viewing wall's eastern side, was unveiled in August 2002 in "honor of the heroes" of 9/11 and so that "the world community can reflect upon and remember the events that took place here, and draw strength and inspiration as we rebuild." Officials with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which controls the World Trade Center site, first learned of the mistake this week when they received an e-mail from Justin Matley, a 21-year-old who noticed the error during a July 10 visit to the viewing wall. Noting that, "essentially the signs are obituaries," Matley said he was upset that the sign's creators--and proofreaders--incorrectly placed the terror attacks in 2002, not 2001. Matley told TSG that he later visited the Port Authority's web site and filled out a feedback form apprising the agency of the mistake. On Monday, he received an e-mail from a Port Authority manager who reported that the "panel is being removed and will be replaced with correction." The official, Nancy Johnson, noted that it was "truly astonishing that you are the first person to have reported this mistake to The Port Authority. We sincerely appreciate your heartfelt note and the time you took to report this mistake." (5 pages)

I suppose this means that FORD is 48 percent likely to be between the ages of 55 and 64, and 47 percent likely to be older than 65.

I always suspected as much.
