Sara Botkin, a soprano soloist who dreamed of a recording career, was on her way to the 105th floor of the World Trade Center South Tower, where she worked as a financial analyst, Ms. Botkin chose to dawdle in the tower's concourse. It was the day her favorite artist, Mariah Carey, was releasing a new album, "Glitter."

 

"I'm a huge Mariah Carey fan. I always, always buy her music the morning it's released. I went to Sam Goody to buy that CD, which was why I was a little behind.

 

"I was waiting for my elevator when the first plane hit," she said. "When I saw people running, I did think, is this a bomb or something intentional? I thought about Oklahoma City and said, 'Wow, I wonder if I'm going to be hurt today.'" Ms. Botkin was not hurt.

:o

This is a really incredible story :o ! Mariah really saved this girl

Great story. Wonder if Mariah has read that paper. :unsure:

I'd like her to read it, it shows how something great can come out of a huge mess :wub:

The Glitter project as a whole was a huge mess, but the album is underrated in my opinion.

I agree, I don't think she should ever do such a massive film again, she should stick to Indies!

In Rich's thread, I am sure that the reviewer was swayed by the performance of the project as a whole.
