There are stories of September 11th premonitions saving people from being inside the World Trade Center that day in 2001. In fact, some celebrities narrowly avoided death on 9/11. For example, Gabourey Sidibe was supposed to be in class nearby but overslept, Rob Lowe was on a test-run with the terrorists weeks before, and Olympian Ian Thorpe was heading back to the WTC to play tourist that morning. WatchMojo counts down small choices that saved celebrity lives on 9/11.

Jim pierce was bush cousin
And yet Seth MacFarlane remains an atheist. That was all just complete coincidence right Seth? Alright man, have it your way.

Why does it always have to be about famous people… Top 10… material stuff… what about all the real victims? Family of the victims do not care about what celebrity "almost" died
This is the most stupid video ever. What's wrong watchmojo? You running out of ideas so you go to 9/11? It's damn disrespectful to the people who did die and to the non famous people, such as the members of the emergency services who also lost their lives.
The Jackie Chan one is incorrect. He was going to do a movie where the towers would be blown up but since 9/11 happened the movie was cancelled altogether.
I am so surprised a lot of people almost died, or were going to be in a plane or tower that was hit
Move over DARE…. According to Seth MacFarlane…..drinking can actually *SAVE* your life.
United airlines… You've got to be kidding me

You mean top 10 liars? I have no idea why people have a compulsion to lie about this stuff, but I personally know 5 people (I live on the west coast 2,400 miles away from NY) who "overslept" or "missed their plane", it's fucked up but I doubt any of these are true.
Final Destination 12?
This is a rough list to publish, a lot of people did lose their lives that day, and just because people enjoy hearing your music or your face on a screen doesn't mean your life is worth more than others, any one of those people could have been a future success or world changer, and many first responders (fire, ems, police) are still dealing with the long term health effects from that day, that seems more important because it takes a lot more to run into danger then to pretend it on a set
Fake News
We know WatchMajo we know…
Where the hell is Michael Jackson
It’s fergie baby
Why was she not on good morning britain
lmao you forgot gerard way and michael jackson
Most of these celebrities i dont know
JAKYCHAN DEAD AHAHA, WHAT ABOUT MR. BEAN? wow hey-v
Jesus, you don't even put legendary Georgetown coach john Thompson on this list?? Sheesh
How decisions can save your life. In 1972, my dad was to testify in a court case in Prince Rupert for the military. A bunch of them got drunk that night and slept in and missed the flight back to Masset(Then in the Queen Charlottes) but the plane crashed, killing all onboard. My dad takes the Seth Mcfarlane approach. It wasn't fate. It isn't anything but missing a fatal accident. Makes me shudder, though.
So WatchMojo rather have 10 famous people live than 2500 people live?
I think 9/11 was a very good day because a few terrorists died on that day

The government drove a jet into a concrete wall and the jet was gone and the wall was ok
Larry Silverstein should be number 1 cause his 'excuse' for not being in one of the towers on that fateful day is the most coincidental EVER
the overall upbeat undertone of this video in combination with an abhorrent tastelessness gave me the wierdest bonercancer
Huh definitely seems funny Bush's Cousin
My dad was in Aburn when 9/11 happend….he would had possiablly died if he was in New York city
If Seth mcfarlane was killed in 9/11 I’m fucking killling this people I love family guy
What about Caisy Neistat he lived in the apartment next to the twin towers and he overslept but when he saw debree falling out the window he ran out and survived
Seth MacFarlane was the only one who actually "escaped death." Since the only people who were guaranteed to die were on the planes. There were survivors from the buildings near the impact zone. Wahlberg came close, but Seth actually went to board his plane and was planning on being on that exact plane. He was lucky his travel agent told him the wrong time and that he slept in from being drunk from the night before. He showed up within minutes of the gate closing.
Seth McFarlane was booked from flight 1, the plane that hit the north tower
