    Mark Wahlberg would have prevented 9/11

    It seems like Mark Wahlberg has seen too many action movies.

    In the February issue of Men’s Journal, Marky Mark says that he would could have stopped the 9/11 attacks from happening had he been onboard one of the planes.

    He told the magazine (read aloud in your best Boston accent):

    “If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did,” Wahlberg said. “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.’”

    Wahlberg was originally scheduled to be on flight United 93 from his hometown of Boston to Los Angeles. The plane was highjacked, but passengers fought and diverted the plane away from its supposed destination of Washington.

    The “Contraband” actor has said that he has had over 50 dreams about what he would have done to the terrorists that day.

      I had that SAME dream! I took down all the hijackers, took control of the plane and safely landed it. Kate Beckinsale was a stewardess on the flight!
      • NHLforLife 4 mths ago
        Same dream here! But I threw Marky-mark out the door before landing!
      • Cosmos 4 mths ago
        Mark would transform into Dirk Diggler and save everyone...

      • 38 Special 4 mths ago
        ANd I would have stopped the JFK assisination if I hadn't misplaced my captain america shield that day.
    • Aegis Rider  •  4 mths ago
      If we had learned from what the Israelis went through in the 70's, all US airliners would've had reinforced cockpit doors and flight crews would be trained to deal with hijack attempts. in other words, 9/11 would not have occured.
      • Alison 4 mths ago
        "If we had learned..." Problem is, people in this country are so greedy for an easy buck, they'll never learn...or see what's right in front of them. Those Israeli airliners with the reinforced cockpit doors were MADE IN THE US while our own leaders sacrificed American safety and lives to line their own pockets. I'll never forget.
      • John 4 mths ago
        if we want the root cause we can trace it back to a weak kneed liberal democrat named billy bob aka bubba clinton ignoring the attack of 1993 on the trade center
    • Eric Z  •  4 mths ago
      Great...Walberg is now doing comedy.
    • Gordon  •  Denver, Colorado  •  4 mths ago
      Woulda, coulda, shoulda. You weren't on the plane, so spare us with what you might have done.Acting and reality are worlds apart. Having a loaded pistol thrust in your face puts a whole new meaning to blink and it may be your last one.
      • Moi 4 mths ago
        the terroists didn't have guns , have you ever really read the news ?
        who know what wahlberg could have done ? why jump all over him for
      • jeff 4 mths ago
        hey moi its not an actual gun he's refering to but rather a weapon or any kind of deterant to make someone do something knife,bat or taser it doesnt matter what it is as long as it can hurt you/ kill you
      • GodisLonely 4 mths ago
        BOX CUTTERS...not guns. And again, anyone who brandishes a gun on a plane is OBVIOUSLY SUICIDAL and willing to take the rest of you out with him. So stop that person. But i agree, his after the fact remark 10 years later has no relevance.
    • KR  •  Chicago, Illinois  •  4 mths ago
      What a narcissistic fool. Real life isn't Hollywood, buddy. What an insult to the victims on that flight.
      • Frank 4 mths ago
        he would have been on the plane .....he hasa a right to say what he would have done
      • IMHO 4 mths ago
        Who hasn't thought back on a situation and thought about different outcomes. I'm sure all the families of the passengers have gone through their own shoulda, coulda, woulda's. We all like to think that we could have somehow helped and changed the circumstances.
    • sniper assassin  •  Irvine, California  •  4 mths ago
      lmao... an actor defeats armed jihadist terrorists! i suppose he would have his planet of the apes chimp make up on and the jihadist would have been scared to death! get real marky!
    • RonP  •  4 mths ago
      A lot of info about how Actor James Woods reported suspicious activity of a few terrorists before 911. Feds interviewed him after the tragic event to gather additional information (see wikipedia and snoops). As far as Mark, its hard to tell what you could have done and whether it would have worked.
    • daniel  •  Toronto, Canada  •  4 mths ago
      Instead of fighting the terrorist he could just put his movies on the T.V's! Surely the terrorists would surrender watching his last ten movies!
    • A Yahoo! User  •  Birmingham, Alabama  •  4 mths ago
      Hey Mark....The victims didn't have 10 1/2 years to daydream about it!!!
    • Ray  •  4 mths ago
      He can't distinguish real life from make-believe movies. He would have cried and nastied his drawyers. Who is marky mark?
    • Roy Mustang  •  Ellwood City, Pennsylvania  •  4 mths ago
      My guess is he would have pooped his marky-marks.
    • Ashley  •  Southfield, Michigan  •  4 mths ago
      He's being extremely disrespectful to the victims on the planes. They had NO idea what was going to happen and many of them truly believed the plane was going to land safely as long as they cooperated.
    • CommonSense  •  Newark, New Jersey  •  4 mths ago
      Locking the cockpit in view of the warnings from the Clinton administration would have done it
    • ShopperBen  •  Beverly Hills, California  •  4 mths ago
      ??right........

      he has his butt kissed so much in hollywood, that the actor actually believes he can be a real life hero.
    • M  •  West Palm Beach, Florida  •  4 mths ago
      I have always said that IF those on the other planes would have had the time and information that Flight 93 had, things would have turned out differently. As it was, my only daughter was on Flight 93 and they did the best they could, not knowing for sure about the bomb. The word hero is thrown about all too freely. Sports figures, actors are NOT heroes. Real heroes are those troops who keep us safe, the police and fire personnel, teachers, doctors and nurses. This idiot needs a wake-up call.
    • david  •  4 mths ago
      He's a peacock, Captain, You gotta let him fly!!!
    • Barbara  •  Hicksville, New York  •  4 mths ago
      I really like him but he sure put his foot in his mouth. To say that is to insult to the people who gave up their lives helping to save others.
