On September 11, 2001, Andrea Haberman started her day with a playful ritual she and her fiancé shared whenever they were apart: whoever called the other first thing in the morning won the competition.
That day, Andrea won. She took advantage of the time difference and called from a desk in the Carr Future offices high in the North Tower, deciding to arrive early for her 9:00 a.m. meeting.
About 40 minutes after she hung up the phone with him, a hijacked commercial airliner crashed through the building a floor above her. Escape was not possible.
