Damn Time Differences

One of the Russian Ambassadors comes to President Putin and nervously tells him he'd like to resign.

"Why?" Putin asks him "Ah, Mr. President,

I can't find myself with these time differences!

I fly to another city, call home and everyone is asleep, I last woke you up at 4 in the morning, but I thought it was only evening,

I call Angela Merkel to congratulate her on her birthday and she tells me she had it yesterday,

I wish the Chinese President a happy New Year, and he says it will be tomorrow.

"Well, these are just minor inconveniences! Says Putin. "Do you remember when that Polish plane crashed with the president? I called them to express my condolences, but the plane hasn't taken off yet!"
 
This same drama reportedly played out in real life elsewhere. When the World Trade Centre was hit by a plane on 11 September - the notorious 9/11 event - Building Seven was reported as collapsing by the BBC some 20 minutes before it happened. This had nothing to do with time zones.

More than 1,500 architects, engineers and concerned citizens signed a petition demanding a proper inquiry into that event. The building wasn't hit by anything.
Tall buildings are required to be collapsed using explosives. Traces of explosive material was detected around the site afterwards.
