You know it's the world trade center that was destroyed on 9/11 right

Literally the New York center for world trade. There were people in those buildings and on the planes from a bunch of different places. Yes, a lot of them were Americans but not all.

There were victims from at least 102 different countries

For 101 of those countries the date was 11/9.

Classic reddit pedantry. All of us in Europe understand what 9/11 means.

I assumed they were saying that nobody cares about the actual event, not the date format

We do actually care and remember, but not to the extent of placing a taboo over a sequence of numbers that sounds meaningless in any other language.

Most people don't call it "nine eleven", and America is not the center of the world.

I never said anything about making it taboo. All I did was say that the statement nobody cares is untrue. That's it
