The famous actor who played the character, Hawkeye Piece,

in the movie version of Mash, is another celebrity who claimed

to have a near-death experience when ill with meningitis in

1979. According to his own claims, “Suddenly the pain, fever

and acute distress seemed to evaporate. I was floating above

my body, surrounded by soft blue light. I began to glide down

a long tunnel, away from the bed but suddenly I found myself

back in my body. The doctors told me later that I had

actually died for a time.”

Seth MacFarlane was scheduled to be on American Airline Flight

11 on September 11, 2001; it was the first plane to hit the

World Trade Centre.  A combination of heavy drinking the

night before and his assistant messing up the timing of his

schedule allowed MacFarlane to avoid being one of the

nearly 3,000 people who died in one of the worst

terrorist attacks in history.

The 2008 South Carolina Learjet 60 tragic crash claimed the lives

of four people. The plane reportedly had a tyre blow out which

caused the pilot to attempt a rejected take off. The two survivors,

both celebrities by the way, Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker

and Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein suffered severe burns but

didn’t die. The pilot, co-pilot, a security guard and Travis Barker’s

personal assistant Chris Baker were instantly killed.

Barker required 16 surgeries including many skin grafts

and blood transfusions after the accident.
