This doesn't seem like a Not The Onion story. This lady had a temporary job at the World Trade Center at the time of the plane crashes. The morning of the attacks, she stopped at a CD shop on her way to work which would have delayed her arrival by a few minutes. During those minutes the planes hit, so she was saved by stopping to pick up a Mariah Carey CD. I'm glad she got lucky but it's not the type of thing that the Onion would usually write about.
I agree with you, but I can see how it might sound onion-y to someone who didn't live through 9/11 and hear all the similar stories that were in the news at the time.
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
