I flew a red-eye from LAX to Washington DC the night the US declared war on Iraq. Everyone was so spooked from 9/11, that only 5 other people boarded the jumbo jet that night. There were more stewards than passengers. I felt like I was in a Tom Clancy novel being rushed to the Pentagon or something. (I was going to the Library of Congress to research.) They offered me to sit in first class, but the feeling of being completely alone on a massive passenger jet was one I could never re-live, so I kept my original seat. They still brought me all the first class goodies though. It was truly amazing.
