Charlotte radio host Maney from WNKS 95.1 FM KISS "Drex and Maney" told listeners Wednesday he was actually supposed to be on Flight 93, the plane that went down on 9/11 in Shanksville, Pa.

Channel 9 caught up with Maney at the Laps for Life blood drive at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, an annual event on 9/11 to honor first responders.
