25 years and it still hurts. I wasn't the only one that lost someone on 9/11. But I want to look on the people that had close class and survived the tragedy that we still remember today.
I lost someone I never knew, and his name is on the memorial plaque at ground zero. Here are the celebrities that had close calls with almost perishing on 9/11
Rob Lowe- He was on Flight 11 days before 9/11. He realized the hijackers were on his flight and were doing a dry run on it. He had no idea how lucky he was that he didn't end up as one of the victims; but he had felt guilty that he didn't stop it not knowing what would have happened.
He still thinks about it and tries not to think that he was close to death.
Seth MacFarlane- He was supposed on one of the planes that hit the tower, but he was hungover at the time partying in Boston the night before.
When he woke up, he realized he was late for his flight. Plus, the time was wrong as well on his ticket. He realized his life was saved by alcohol. He doesn't think about it much as he had been interviewed as he tries to think alcohol saved his life.
Mark Wahlberg- He too was set to board flight 11, but he decided to take another flight instead. He decided to stay at the Toronto Film Festival and took a private jet. He even admitted who would have taken on those terrorists and save everyone.
He eventually apologized to the families who lost people on 9/11, especially on that flight.
Michael Jackson- He was supposed to be on top of the World Trade Center, however, a call with his mother avoided his death. It's true, he was on the phone with his mother while he was supposed to be at the World Trade Center.
The long phone call caused him to miss tragedy. His brother Jermaine wrote a book about his late brother's life. It's mentioned in there.
Sarah Ferguson- She was scheduled to have a meeting at the twin towers. She was running late since she was at an interview. Fortunately, she missed getting killed. She realized that 700 of her employes that were there perished from the tragedy.
She was grateful yet sadden that not everyone she worked with survived like she did.
Gweneth Paltrow- She had no idea that she had saved somebody's life. She didn't know till ten years later. A young woman was roller blading and almost was hit by Gweneth's Car. The encounter caused her to miss her train.
She eventually realized that the young woman was headed to the World Trade Center. Gweneth saved her life.
Steve Buscemi= Even though he didn't have to go to the World Trade Center, he decided to help out. He used to be a junior fire fighter and helped other firefighters trying to find survivors in the wreckage.
He stayed for almost a whole day finding bodies and it still haunted him as well as exhausted him. To this day he still remembers what he had went through by helping other firefighters throughout the whole ordeal.
Pete Davidson- This is more tragic. Like me, Pete Davidson lost someone close to him when he was only seven years old.
Pete Davidson is an SNL alumnus and the only memory he has of his father is losing him on 9/11. His father, Scott, was helping other firefighters save people from the twin towers that were destroyed 25 years ago.
He has a tattoo of his father's fire station number on his arm, and he named his daughter after his late father.
How has it already been 25 years? How does time fly so by and so fast? Well....25 years later, it still hurts.
It hurts for everyone who either lost someone they loved or knew someone who lost someone. These people survived tragedy through ironic circumstances. Never Forget 9/11
