Not mine, but my trainee's. He had planned a big party with friends for his 18th birthday on the day. It was the ~~9th of November~~ September 11th, 2001.

@Mayor Poppington Thanks for seeing this. Why are American dates in the wrong order?

What happened on November 9th?

I'm guessing it was impacted by the September 11th attacks.

Edit: thinking about it more, it could just be a European troll that forgot our dates are swapped around over here. They thought 9/11 was the 9th of November.

Why does the troll have to be european? Most of the world uses DD/MM/YYYY, or some variation of that order.

True, but Europe has the highest likelihood of them speaking English.
