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.

That's interesting. I have that as well in this case. I have two conflicting memories - coming out of a class and hearing news coverage over the radio in the hallways at school (which I remember because it was very strange) but then also seeing the 2nd plane hit the tower at home on CNN. Unless I could teleport there is no way both of those are true.
