September 11th. 747, type of airplane. talking about evil and fighting, maybe dealing with the Middle East (long time ago). The "couple" in the 2nd verse for 11, the 1 + 1 make a couple. I don't know just a thought. Your answers are not correct, BUT your use of deduction in trying to figure the clues are almost headon....you date....not off by much...........
