Things you may not know about Seth MacFarlane: He was supposed to have been on one of the planes that crashed into the WTC on 9/11
Something you may not know about Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, because it’s not something he really likes to talk about is how he almost died in a plane on 9/11, but he missed his flight by 10 minutes because of a hangover, a plane that 15 minutes later was being hijacked and later crashed into one of the towers of the WTC.
From Wikipedia:
On the morning of September 11, 2001, MacFarlane was scheduled to return to Los Angeles on American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston, Massachusetts. Suffering from a hangover from the previous night’s celebrations, and with an incorrect departure time (8:15 a.m. instead of 7:45 a.m.) from his travel agent, he arrived at Logan International Airport about ten minutes too late to board the flight as the gates had been closed. Fifteen minutes after departure, American Airlines Flight 11 was hijacked, and at 8:46 a.m. was flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, obliterating the airplane, and killing everyone on board.
