The writer mentions the September 11 attack in New York and the earthquake in New Zealand.
The writer went to get a coffee first and was not in the office when the plane hit the World Trade Center. He/ She had overslept and missed his/her flight, so he/ she was able to avoid the earthquake.
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 coffee first. I went to my favorite coffee place even though it was two blocks east from my office.

“This is the first holiday I’ve taken in a year, and now I’ve missed my plane. What bad luck!” I thought to myself. The other planes were full so I had to wait till the next day. The next morning, I heard about the earthquake in New Zealand the day before. My bad luck had unexpectedly turned into a good thing.
