Sample Book Insights: #1 On Feb. 26, 1993, a terrorist attack took place on the World Trade Center, and Elia Zedeño was in an express elevator carrying a slice of Sbarro's pizza. She had taken a new temporary worker to the food court to show him around, and they were on their way back to their desks. #2 The 1993 bombing became a story about terrorism, but it was also a story about procrastination and denial, the first phase of the human disaster experience. #3 Zedeño, who is from Cuba, came to America with her family in 1971. She worked in the Trade Center for over twenty-one years, and was forty-one years old when 9/11 occurred. She would head up to the cafeteria to get some breakfast, as usual. #4 The Trade Center did not feel like a cluster of seven buildings, but like a city. Every day, fifty thousand people came to work there, and another two hundred thousand passed through.
