I remember the day very vividly. I was almost 20, and I was in seond year Uni at the University of Winnipeg.
I was sleeping at my then-boyfriend's place and he woke up at around 7am and turned the radio on CBC and I could hear the presenter talking about how a plane has flown into the towers and I thought I was dreaming it.
As I was slowly waking up, I realized it wasn't a dream, so I put on some clothes and went out into the common area of his flat where everyone was huddled around the TV watching the news.
Later on, we went to the Uni, and all of the students were huddled around TVs that the students union has set up in common areas and people were crying. The rest of the day was a blur, and I had no idea that it would change us forever.

So yes, I do remember a pre-911 world.
