16 A-List celebrities who nearly died and how they reacted (With Pictures)

4. Seth MacFarlane

Seth MacFarlane’s brush with death came on September 11, 2001, when he was scheduled to return to Los Angeles on American Airlines Flight 11. Fortunately, the Family Guy creator’s agent mixed up their times and told MacFarlane that his flight would depart at 8.15 am, but it was actually scheduled to depart a half hour earlier, at 7.45 am. Along with this, MacFarlane was hungover and after arriving for the flight 10 minutes late he was informed he would have to wait an hour for the next flight. Shortly after, Flight 11 was flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Speaking about the matter, MacFarlane said: “The only reason it hasn’t affected me as it maybe could have been: I didn’t really know that I was in danger until after it was over, so I never had that panic moment.”
