Sam Mendes had been scheduled to fly on the American Airlines flight 77 that was hijacked on 11 September 2001 and crashed into the Pentagon. A month later, his then-wife Kate Winslet was flying with her daughter Mia when a passenger claiming to be a terrorist stood up and screamed: "We're all going to die", forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing to have the man arrested.
