"The artist, Zurab Tsereteli, was in his home in Moscow on the morning of September 11th. The television was on as he was getting ready for work and Zurab, like the rest of the world, was glued to coverage of the attacks on the Twin Towers. He watched the towers collapse on TV and was moved to tears."
Moscow time is seven hours ahead of New York. How was this guy in Moscow glued to the coverage while getting ready for work on the morning of 9-11 when the first tower was hit at 3:46 in the afternoon Moscow time?

Great question
This wasn't the first report about the time difference and someone from around the world was watching. There were others.
I suppose in this case it could have been the writer trying to dramatize the story, but when you add them all up it gets a little sus.
It kind of reminds me of the BBC reporting on building seven falling some twenty minutes before it fell (if I recall correctly).
Yes. I remember that also.
