There’s a documentary about one of the ‘jumpers’ who is eventually identified as a worker in the restaurant at the WTC.

The creator of FAMILY GUY was hungover that morning and missed being on one of the flights because of it.
The flight to Los Angeles was occupied by television (Frazier tv series creator) David Angell who had bought a place back on the east coast and was retiring.
