Actually, the article you linked proves that it is true. In recalling where they were when they learned of the attack, people were 89 percent accurate at survey two and 83 percent accurate at survey three. So the statement nearly every American remembers where they were is TRUE. The survey shows that more minute details get lost over time, such as who they were with/ how they learned about it. But I'm pretty sure thats the case with human memory in general.
