+Jeff Barrett there's a thing called survivor's guilt. It's a psychology thing that affects people who narrouwly survived a disaster.

[@jeffbarrett3344]

MyChico333 Survivor's guilt is someone who survived an event. Not getting on the plane in the first place does not qualify. Being on the plane and surviving is different.

Since 9/11 Seth Macfarlane has had to his credit two successful ongoing TV series and one successful movie, he's hosted the eighty fifth academy awards, he donated Carl Sagan's papers to the Library of Congress, he got Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey off the ground and won a Peabody for it, he's sang at Carnagie hall, the BBC Proms and met all his childhood heroes like Patrick Stewart and Frank Sinatra Junior. This is the man who escaped 9/11, the one who walked away, pursued his dreams and lived. I'm not much into his brand of comedy but he is a titan.

[@coleslaw3365]

alcohol saved him..

[@kevinskipp1861]

He's spoken about it a lot and has said that he missed flights more often than a normal person would. For you and me this would be shocking but for him he had (and maybe still has) a tendency to be late for flights. So it is true that maybe if he'd been given the correct time (15 minutes earlier) he'd have been there just in time...but it doesn't shock him as much as it would us, as something conspired against him fairly regularly. It was one of many flights he's missed.

9/11 is a wound that we must get over together as a nation. The tragedy is not funny, but bringing humor to it should not be that great of a deal. It is like if you fell off a bike doing something stupid and ended up with a big scar, joking about the scar doesn't mean that it wasn't painful at the time. It means that we have healed from it. The best way to go against the terrorists is to laugh at their face when they want us to be terrified and hide in our own home.

[@daaave_]

Seth had the balls to make a 9 / 11 joke live on TV

[@dannyboots]

He's practically a survivor

[@Officialsearch21]

Seth as a writer talks about his life events through Family Guy. His way of healing from the past is to create these types comedy to express his feelings. I think if you put yourself in his shoes you then start to think about what you maybe would have done. Many of us would like to say that I would have tackled the terrorist and killed him. I have had two events that people would say they would have stepped in and prevented it. One was back in high school and there was a fight but one kid was stabbed to death. A lot of people claimed to run to the victims aid and control the bleeding but that was far from the truth. What happened was they say the fight, they encouraged the fight and when the stabbing actually occurred the guy who did it ran away and the victim was left on the ground and no one helped they just watched him bleed to death. A second even was in College and there was a rumor that someone had a gun on the 1st floor and I was on the 4th. There is only one exit. I stood there and didn't move because I didn't want to run into the person who had a gun and shot. While everyone left I was the last one to leave. Most people didn't leave until they were told to. My point is this you kind of want to say you would do something during a tragic event and not do anything but regret it later. Now Seth missed the flight and people died on the flight so I bet he sits back and thinks man I could have stopped it like this and made this part of Family guy and express his feelings of wanting to time travel and prevent it.

Wow the odds of the producer of family guy being the guy late for the flight before it left. Family was destined for greatness and to continue airing.

[@ihateslideshows]

family guy is just a weapon to dumb down the youth, they needed seth alive because he would, and has played a gigantic role in dumbing down the masses.

[@michaelweston409]

Seriously because last time i checked up on the matter family guy is extremely anti government and presses heavily on the negative aspects of our cheaply made society and the darker side of today and past history. It does all this while still making you laugh. The truth is hidden under comedy.

[@ihateslideshows]

Justin Seaman i don't think it 's a coincidence that jackie chan, mark wahlberg, and seth macfarlane, and others happened to sleep in on the day they were supposedly set to fly on one of those planes, you can disagree with me all you want, but i in my mind i believe these ppl had some knowledge of what was going down, wouldn't doubt if they were contacted by some zionist jew and payed off or something, since the zionists own mainstream media, and were supposedly behind the 9/11 attacks.

[@ihateslideshows]

***** and tv shows like family guy

[@michaelweston409]

Yeah there are dozens of celebrities that take flights in and out of New York on the daily. Although I do agree a isolated segment of the US government coordinated 911 I don't think the celebrities who missed tiger deaths were part of some elaborate scheme to save then. Just fate.

I can't believe we were so close to having a life without Stewie in it.

Family guy was made before 9/11

[@markellhawthorne2921]

@@bigplato6668 It's second season was airing at the time iirc.

I don't know if I would have survived life this long without continuous seasons of family Guy.

[@ruthmcgahon120]

I just noticed that Lauren Graham was on this interview aswell! Gilmore Girls is my life! What a fantastic interview

[@deepdish2034]

What if while on the way to stop themselves from telling their earlier selves about 9/11 they get Seth McFarlane to his flight on time and the show never was written or produced?

[@blakemcwilliams9028]

In another timeline Seth died and that world does not have Family Guy

[@dingdongpaddiwack]

Family Guy was already around at the time. It just would've ended at season 3. American Dad wouldn't have existed though. Pretty crazy.

[@takfry]

isn’t it weird that 10 minutes is all it takes to change the world

[@dominickrascon]

Man I can’t stop picturing Bryan lol when Seth talks

[@Generalscorpio]

While that episode of Family Guy is entertaining and there is a serious point to be made about context and not tampering with the past this episode actually serves a greater purpose in how we study history. Something that has become a bit more popular recently is the counter-factual, which is when people look at a historical event and try to imagine what would have happened if you changed on key factor. This is actually un-constructive because there aren't the means to balance all the variables of a particular event and if you know anything about chaos theory you'll realize that even a minor change in the initial values (in this case the initial events that, for example, started a war, or the initial speech that got a movement off the ground) can lead to a massively different and often unexpected outcome. And in the wider context it shows how limited our knowledge of what COULD have been actually is and so theorizing about a past without someone like Joseph Goebbels or where Lee Harvey Oswold missed (I know there are dozens of other theories about that one but I'm just using the official story for an example) is entertaining and fascinating but actually unproductive when it comes to actually studying an event. And that's also a point that is made (whether accidentally or intentionally) by any show or film where someone has to deal with the consequences of tampering with the past.

Will I Am seems like a fun guy to hang out with......

[@jasfay7219]

hes usually funny, idk what was up with him here

[@jemert96]

His laugh when he was talking was very awkward

[@PlayaP69]

+jemert96 I think he was getting a feel for Seth. Sometimes it takes people time to realize the person sitting next to them isn't a pompous egomaniac, but actually cool, down-to-earth, and funny. LOL. I get that reaction all the time! :XD

[@fleetwoodjak4589]

Joe Coe embarrassing to hang out with in public given the way he dresses

[@PennBadgley24526774]

[@josiahernst5830]

He's allowed to make 9/11 jokes. He was almost apart of it but was late for his flight

[@90sNickfan91]

Seth seems really down to earth.

The world needs people like Seth to balance out the stupidity.

I've been looking for the video of the end of the episode but can't find it.

[@jimmydeats9901]

The world would have been a much unhappier place if Seth caught that plane. Thank god he missed it. The man is a comedic genius.

[@freddybeer]

I'd love to go on a drinking binge with Seth MacFarlane! I bet he drifts in and out of his many voices on a whim, not to mention a drunken singalong! He has an amazing voice!

[@micahy.6190]

A hangover saved Seth Macfarlane of all people from 9-11. You can't make this shit up lmao

[@therealhubert9455]

Someone please tell me what season and episode this was !!!

Never thought that alcohol would save a man's life.

[@valmid5069]

Facts stranger than fiction: Seth himself had a ticket with the doomed plane, and missed it after a hangover

[@chalupamatej]

Val Mid Yeah that’s literally what he says in the video. Good insight though

[@laurennicole04]

Wow, the story of him missing that flight is insane.

[@MrSpencerMcIntosh]

My mom had a friend who had the EXACT same situation as Seth he was drinking the night before and missed his taxi to the first plane that hit.
