Fast reading
On September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda(基地组织) launched a terrorist attack on the US. They hijacked (劫持) four passenger planes and planned to hit three targets. Two planes flew to crash into the World Trade Center, one to the Pentagon, and the last to Washington D.C. The last plane was the only one that missed its target because the passengers on the plane managed to overcome the hijackers. The most destructive attack was the one on the World Trade Center, which claimed 2,606 lives.
Background
On February 21, 2011, a powerful earthquake (of magnitude 6.3) hit Christchurch, the second-largest city in New Zealand. It severely damaged the city and killed 185 people. This was not the first earthquake in New Zealand, but it was the second deadliest natural disaster in New Zealand, in terms of lives lost andproperty damaged.
The writer mentioned the September 11 attacks in New York and the February 21 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. As I
was waiting in line with other office workers, I heard a loud sound. Before I could join the others outside to see what was going on, the first plane had already hit my office 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 had never gone off. 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 off. “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.
