The first drafts of the first draft of history, starting about 10 minutes after Flight 11 hit the north tower of the World Trade Center.

Now, 30 minutes later, and it's chaos with the south tower in flames. This draft includes a line that while CNN reported a passenger jet had crashed into WTC, "witnesses said the plane looked too small to be a commercial aircraft." (Our staff was too close to see the planes.) 2

Unvaccinated Florida woman contracts COVID, then gets monoclonal antibodies. “I was feeling so badly, like the longest flu I ever had. I was, like, whatever, give me whatever.”
