Its impossible for him to not know unless he lives in 100% solitude, in a coma, or is just plain ignorant.

Did his family and/or friends not mention anything about 9/11? Friends or relatives going off to the Mid East? There is absolutely no way people around him were unaware and did not at least mention 9/11.

Shens to the power X as X ->8
 
I could believe that if they never watched TV, read the paper, or used a phone or the internet. Don't know a single person like that personally.....
 
1/2 the posts in this thread:
I can not conceive of not knowing about 9/11. Therefore, I refuse to believe that somebody else might not know about it.

What are you talking about? No businesses were closed on September 11th.

Doesn't take much for people NOT to know about current events in the world. ONLY reason I even remotely have a clue to what is going on in the world is because of the internet. I don't watch TV (and haven't for the past 2 years) and don't get the newspaper. I actually know some people that don't know a hurricane went through New Orleans.
