Yikes! There are as many versions of this as there are of how her prick of a father dodged the draft.

As for the line going dead when she called her mother's assistant, unless it was a cellphone, she's full of it. And even the cell phones didn't go out until 15-20 minutes after the second plane hit. How do I know? I was on mine -- and a LOT closer to the towers -- within a few minutes after the south tower was hit. I also know that regular (i.e., landline) phones that weren't actually in buildings that were hit or damaged worked for some hours afterward. How do I know? I live a few blocks from Ground Zero and was able to reach my answering machine well into the afternoon -- until building #7 collapsed.

Anyway, what kind of superbrain girl leaves an area that is completely safe and heads *toward* the site of two terrorist attacks, especially when the rest of us mere mortals were evacuating toward uptown?

I hope Tina Brown filed this one in the fiction section.

Oh, and Union Square is quite a bit further than 12 blocks away from the WTC.

First plane hits-Chelsea hustled into car at chappequa and speeds toward Manhattan.Second Plane hits-Chelsea is let out of the USSS car with a cell phone and is admonished by her mother to look dishelveled while talking excitedly to me,and by any means necessary,make sure you are on TV!"

Because she's Chelsea Clinton, supergirl! And thanks for the phone info -- it looks like she's caught in another lie. I'll bet there are literally millions of New Yorkers who witnessed more firsthand that day, and who have more interesting stories to tell. Yet who gets four pages in Talk magazine -- somebody who was in absolutely no danger, and who thought about the Bush tax cut when thousands were dying!
