Rob Lowe: I Flew with the 9/11 Hijackers

Just days after the news of Osama bin Laden’s death broke, Rob Lowe has recounted his firsthand experience of flying with the terrorists responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

The 47-year-old explained the terrifying situation with Ryan Seacrest earlier today (May 5), telling, “We shot ‘The West Wing’ in D.C. four times a year, and I always took the same early morning flight out of Dulles into Los Angeles. That flight would be the same flight that 11 days later would be highjacked and flown into the Pentagon. I knew the crew that died so that was always sad and disturbing.”

Rob continued, “It was a flight just like any other flight. I remember it was really crowded… there were people everywhere so they would’ve been all around me and there was nobody that looked odd, or different, or like a terrorist — just looked like normal people. It was completely uneventful and I think that is almost scarier.”

Lowe added, “About a year and half after 9/11, I was notified that I’m on a list of people that are being deposed for the trial on Zacarias Moussaoui. So I call my attorney…he says, ‘they have the manifest and they were all on the plane. Moussaoui ended up defended himself, and pleading out so I never had to be deposed thankfully but that was a disturbing day.”
