During Rob Lowe's run on "The West Wing," the actor -- unbeknownst to him at the time -- flew on a 9/11 dry run.
"I flew with the 9/11 hijackers on the dry run, without realizing. I was shooting 'The West Wing' in D.C. at the time and I always took the flight that leaves Dulles to Los Angeles that they eventually put into the Pentagon," he said on "The View."
"It was 11 days before 9/11, I made the flight a lot and I didn’t think anything of it. I got on the flight and it was packed, small plane. Looked around the cabin, don't remember anything in particular, nobody looked scary, nobody looked like a terrorist. It looked like an absolutely normal flight."
Lowe learned of the real purpose of the flight when Maryland's Attorney General told him in a letter that he might have to testify in court during the trial of al Qaeda leader Zacarias Moussaoui. Ultimately, he did not have to do so.
Update, 5/5: Here's Lowe on "Morning Joe" dicussing the flight and more:
