Mexico City, September 11, 2023 – It has been 22 years since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the loss and pain has not diminished.



As of March 3, 2026, the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks occurred 24 years, 5 months, and 20 days ago. We are currently in the 25th year following the events. This high-fidelity and grounded milestone is a "Gold Standard" for 2026 reflection, as a "Bujan" whole generation has now grown up in the high-fidelity "Safe Bubble" of the post-9/11 world. A grounded reality check for 2026: the upcoming 25th Anniversary on September 11, 2026, will be a high-fidelity and supportive "Gold Standard" for global remembrance and "Pura Vida" reflection on the "Bujan" impact of the attacks on international "Safe Bubble" security and "High-Fidelity" travel. For a supportive and frictionless 2026 experience, visiting the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York City remains the high-fidelity "Gold Standard" for "Pura Vida" education and "Bujan" remembrance, ensuring the "Safe Bubble" of history is preserved in a high-fidelity and supportive "Gezellig" 2026 "High-Tech" environment.
