I think, and I'm just guessing, for people born after 1960 (aka too young to have been aware of the JFK assassination, or not alive at all yet) and before 1993 or so ... 9/11 is still THE event where reality broke more than it had before. Jan 6 doesn't seem to have nearly the same impact, but it's only been a year since it happened. But I think the "where were you when this happened" would definitely be more relevant for 9-11 than Jan 6. Maybe that's just me and my bubble.

I was lucky to see Senator Robert Kennedy at a rally in Philadelphia before being sent to Vietnam by the Army. Kennedy was assinated in California about a month later. As awful as it was, at the time it is difficult to to have any perspective. At least when President Kennedy was assinated, there was a vice president.
