Like this. To Men's Journal. About the fact that he was supposed to have been on one of the 9/11 planes:
“If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.’”
TMZ has this: "Mark Wahlberg's claim that he would've been able to single-handedly over-power the 9/11 terrorists and prevent a plane from crashing is completely "disrespectful" ... so says the widow of one of the REAL heroic victims who RUSHED THE COCKPIT on that fateful day. TMZ spoke with Deena Burnett-Bailey - whose husband Thomas Burnett phoned her from that fateful flight saying, "I know we're going to die. There's three of us who are going to do something about it." Burnett-Bailey tells us, "Does Mark Wahlberg have a pilot's license? Then I think hindsight is 20/20 and it's insignificant to say what you would have done if you weren't there." She adds, "The plan for Flight 93 was foiled by heroes. For him to speculate that his presence on board could have stopped everything is silly and disrespectful. Sounds like someone is grandstanding." We called Wahlberg for comment - so far, no word back."
In 2007, Mark Wahlberg talked to The Star's Peter Howell: "[Wahlberg] had originally booked to fly from hometown Boston to Los Angeles the following morning, but changed his mind and went with some friends to the Toronto International Film Festival to see movies and party. But for that impulse, he'd have been on one of the two L.A-bound Boston jets crashed by the 9/11 hijackers. "We chartered a plane to Toronto and we had a lot of fun that night drinking Canadian beer, which is much stronger than U.S. beer. I woke up in the morning, in this very hotel (the Four Seasons) and people were calling and beating on my door. It was hard to wake up that morning. But then there was the shock of seeing the television."
