 FACT: In a flashback to 9/11 in the episode "Mistakes Were Made,"  Sally and William are watching in horror as the second plane hits  the World Trade Center on live TV. Through the window, it appears to  be a bright, sunny day. As these characters live in California, the  time would be 7:02 AM, less than half an hour after sunrise (6:34  AM). The sun would not have been that bright.
