Remember 9/11? Mark Wahlberg sure does. We’ve heard the actor talking previously about how world history would have been different had he not made the “fortuitous decision to fly to Toronto a week early” (he originally had tickets for Flight 93). Now, in an interview with Men’s Journal, the perpetually shirtless celebrity gets a little more specific: “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, ‘Okay, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.’” Things we learned about Mark Wahlberg: he flies first class and wants you to know it, he isn’t put off by the sight of blood and he’s apparently strong enough to stop a terrorist attack. Why can’t he be on all of the planes?
