With a 20 year head start she might be able to actually do it, maybe by becoming president or head of the cdc or something?

The ability for a time traveler to prevent 9/11 with one day's notice is... definitely going to be more difficult.

Fun fact, we did have a 20 year start on COVID. This was bird flu, SARS, MERS, swine flu... Scientists have been saying this was coming forever

  • Call a bomb scare into WTC and park a suspicious van outside of it
  • Call ATC and the FBI and tell them the exact flight number(s)

You can save lives, though not all
