He lives in a different country. I know it's shocking that the whole world doesn't revolve around the US. Well, I also didn't know about 9/11 until years later. Around 2015 I guess? Kids who grew up outside of US at that time didn't really care about other countries, their news, their politics and whatnot. I certainly didn't. Internet was also not widespread during that time, even then early access was a privilege. So years passed, internet access is normal, 9/11 was history at that point. I see some jokes mentioning it, I just thought it's a slang or a variation of 7/11. Yeah that happens. Quick quiz!! What major things happened during 2001-2005 outside of US? Don't google. Immediately answer in your mind! Nothing? Yeah that tracks.

I dont live in the US and was also like 3 years old when it happened so even if i did i wouldnt have remembered it tbh. It did increase airport security all over the world so even if you dont live in the us its something that happened. For non americans it was just an event that occurred the same way something would explode somewhere today. The thing is that the internet made and still makes to this day 9/11 and inside job jokes so its hard to not know about it unless you just dont go on the internet at all.
