I'm concerned about the NEW Family Guy Episodes!

I’ve heard the ‘missed flight,’ story as well. We’ll see how much September 11th humor he does or doesn’t do when Family Guy resumes. I certainly don’t like the removal of the Bin Laden joke, which I only heard about after the attack and which I thought was hilarious. But at least it’s easy to find online.

I’ve never heard this, but it sounds interesting. Do you have a cite?

Here is one of many.

(I’ll shut up for a while, I promise.)

IMDb:

On September 11, 2001 he was scheduled to return to Los Angeles on American Airlines Flight 11 after being a keynote speaker at his alma-mater in Rhode Island. Due to a mix-up by his travel agent he was told that his flight was scheduled to depart at 8:00am but it really departed at 7:45am and he had arrived at Boston Logan Airport a few minutes after boarding was stopped on his flight and he was told he would have to wait for the next flight. At 8:45am one hour after the departure of American Airlines Flight 11 it was hijacked by terrorists and crashed into One World Trade Center (North Tower) in New York City killing all onboard. In an interview in USA Today a few days after the September 11th attacks he said that he was unable to get in touch with his office or his family in Los Angeles and he ended up driving half way across the country before he finally was able to get his office and his parents to tell them that he was alright. He also said that he thanked god that his travel agent had screwed up the departure time or he would have been on board and he wouldn’t have known what to do when the terrorists took over the plane.

Heh. Either he was really late for that flight, or the hangover thing was true.
