For example, I also remember very clearly watching the second plane hit the S. Tower live, just as I was getting ready to head to work that morning. My wife is convinced she watched it with me, but it happened @0600 here on the coast, and I am sure she was still sleeping.
We both share the same certainty about our own memories, but clearly at least one of us is completely wrong about it.

This x 1000!
I can’t remember what I had for lunch yesterday but I vividly remember so many specific details about that day. My dad was dropping me off early at high school, listened to the news breaking on the radio about the first plane and that it was pilot error most likely. Then heard at school about the second plane. I then remember first seeing the towers come down at home after school and I vividly remember everything about the living room, the pictures we had on the wall, where I was standing in the room and looking out the window into the backyard and just overwhelming shock.
Earth shattering day. Still gives me the chills just typing this out. And still in disbelief every time I watch replays of the towers coming down.
