writer mention? 2. How did the writer end up
missing
both events?Life is full of the
unexpected. In May 2001, I found a job in New York
at
the
World
Trade
Center.
On
September
11,
2001,
I
arrived
at
my
building
at
around
8:30
a.m. I was about to go up when I decided to get a
co
ff
ee fi rst. I went to
my favorite co
ff
ee place even though it was two blocks east from
my o
ffi
ce. As
I
was waiting in line with other
o
ffi
ce workers, I heard a
loud sound. Before I
could
join
the
others
outside
to
see
what
was
going
on,
the
fi
rst
plane
had
already
hit
my
o
ffi
ce
building.
We
stared
in
disbelief
at
the
black
smoke
rising
above
the
burning
building.
I
felt
lucky
to
be
alive.
Almost
10
years
later,
I
woke
up
at
10:00
a.m. on February 21, 2011 and realized
that my alarm never went o
ff
. I jumped out
of bed and went straight
to the airport. But by the time I got to the
airport, my
plane to New Zealand had
already taken o
ff
.
“
Th is is the fi rst holiday
I
’
ve
taken in a
year, and I miss my plane. What bad
luck!
”
I thought to myself.
Th e
other
planes
were
full
so
I
had
to
wait
till
the
next
day.
Th
e
next
morning,
I
heard
2
about the
earthquake in New Zealand the day before. My bad
luck had unexpectedly
turned into a
good thing.
