Fair enough - I was a year old when 9/11 happened and so obviously I don't remember it at all. I do think it's a little unfair to say that people who weren't adults when something happened can't speak intelligently on history, but in this case since we are talking about how "the people" felt, I'll default to people like you who did live through that.
