To be fair 9/11 is probably going to be forgotten about way sooner

Should we double check, and make sure he knows what Pearl Harbor was? And Hiroshima, and Nagasaki? And the Holocaust?
What? It’s not unreasonable to say he may have missed some key moments in history.

It’s not too relevant for a school history lesson because it didn’t have too many consequences except for the Iraq war

The whole TSA security theater in airports came about because of 9/11. Air travel was much different before that, just walk through a simple metal detector and anyone can go all the way up to the gate to greet or send off your traveling friend/family.

The first 3 are American, I could see a foreigner not knowing. My sister is a teacher in Europe and she says none of her students knew about the Holocaust. These are teenagers. I think maybe we might be fucked as a species.

a teacher in Europe
…like, all of it?
But more to the point, I call bullshit. I cannot think of a country in Europe where the Holocaust is not well known.

I really hope she was bullshitting me but she seemed serious. This is in Bulgaria.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki are in Japan?

It was an American attack, American history goes into much more detail about it than across the pond.

America attacked Pearl Harbor?
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Uhhhhhh, I wouldn’t classify Hiroshima and Nagasake as “Disasters in American history”.
I’d say they are “Disasters in Japanese history”.

So thing about history, too recent history isn’t taught. Because the system is made around your parents teaching you what they went through.

Since I’ve come back from India I’ve sort of just been waiting to hear about an environmental disaster there. This makes sense.

They burn plastic, Modi is killing/jailing climate change activists, and literally every single waterway I saw was choked with plastic. Every single animal I saw looked like it was on deaths door, aside from young animals - they didn’t look much better.
All in all, India is one of the most depressing places I’ve ever had the displeasure of visiting. Any change the west tries make regarding the climate will be instantly wiped out a country like India. I would call the whole country an environmental catastrophy if it weren’t for places like Kerala, which if I’m not mistaken is also just fucked now.

We studied that in university from a industrial and aviation safety expert. Its really worth reading how that shit came about. The human stupidity on this was recklessness on steroids.
One example: the siren that should be used to evacuate all personnel was used daily to call employees to lunch.
You can imagine how that ended.
