Celebrities who luckily escaped the horrific disaster.

Michael Jackson was one of the lucky ones, according to his older brother Jermaine, the king of pop had a morning meeting at the World Trade Center on the 11th of September in 2001.

However, the day before, Jackson slept late as he was talking with his mom Katherine on the phone, and overslept the morning of the attack.

“Thankfully, none of us had had a clue that Michael was due at a meeting that morning at the top of one of the Twin Towers. We only discovered this when Mother phoned his hotel to make sure he was okay. She, Rebbie [Jackson], and a few others had left him there around 3 am.'' Michael's older brother said

‘Mother, I’m okay, thanks to you,’ he told her. ‘You kept me up talking so late that I overslept and missed my appointment.’” Jermaine said.

Other than Michael, Mark Wahlberg was scheduled to fly on American Airlines Flight 11 – the first plane that crashed into the World Trade Center.

Luckily, the actor decided not to fly to Los Angeles, but to go to a film festival in Torronto instead.

“If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did,” Wahlberg told Men’s Journal.

“There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘Okay, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.’”

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane was also scheduled for flight 11, but thankfully arrived late at the airport.

“I was booked on that flight and I was drinking the night before and hung over and I missed the plane by about 10 minutes,it was a very close call for me.” MacFarlane said.
