This doesn’t seem like a Not The Onion story. This lady had a temporary job at the World Trade Center at the time of the plane crashes. The morning of the attacks, she stopped at a CD shop on her way to work which would have delayed her arrival by a few minutes. During those minutes the planes hit, so she was saved by stopping to pick up a Mariah Carey CD. I’m glad she got lucky but it’s not the type of thing that the Onion would usually write about.
I agree with you, but I can see how it might sound onion-y to someone who didn’t live through 9/11 and hear all the similar stories that were in the news at the time.
