Mark Wahlberg would have prevented 9/11

Right.....

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.

    Not defending "Marky Mark" but I'm sure anyone who was supposed to be on that flight wants to believe they could have made a difference in the outcome.

    Yup you never know, sometimes all it takes is one man to stand up and make a difference. He could have been that one man.

    He could sing rap music until the terrorists gave up?

    maybe he could have prevented 1 plane from crashing, but he had no control over the entire operation to be abloe to say he could have prevented it.

    Unless he knew something before hand and failed to pass the information to the authorities who could have apprehended said demons before they caused their death and destruction.

    Mark is/was marky marky? I had no idea. I ALMOST saw him in concert. I still have the tickets somewhere... Hey, what can I say? They were free if you brought a coke can to six flags. lol

    I would have used my special Ninja Smoke to blind the terrorists, then I would have quietly shuffled under all the seats between me and them, whereby I would apply Dillman nerve strike pressure point strikes, rendering their limbs useless for 39 seconds.

    I can't tell you what I would have done next because then I'd have to kill you.

    Yep, he's "Marky Mark" of the famous underwear commercials. His brother, Donnie, stars in "Blue Bloods".

    Mark apologized for his remarks:

    "To speculate about such a situation is ridiculous to begin with, and to suggest I would have done anything differently than the passengers on that plane was irresponsible. I deeply apologize to the families of the victims that my answer came off as insensitive, it was certainly not my intention," Wahlberg said in a statement.

    That is a fact. I've seen it personally.

    My head sensei was Charles Bouton, 8th Dan. He was a light heavy weight kickboxing world champ. He fought and beat Bill Superfoot Wallace and Chuck Norris (point sparring...Norris was undefeated in full contact).

    I've seen Mr. Bouton do stuff that seemed to defy physics. Everytime I mentioon what I saw, people think I musta been high, so I stopped mentioning it. [:D]

    http://www.dragonsocietyinternational.com/Charles_Bouton.html

    "He had wins in such national tournaments as the United States Karate Championships, the Central North American Karate Championships, Jack Hwang's All American Tae Kwon Do Open, and held a World Lightheavy Weight Full Contact Karate/Kickboxing title, undefeated, for three years."

    P.S. I (Wyatt Earp) completed one of Jack Hwang's whip kick seminars. The entire 2 day seminar focused on a single kick. I later knocked out cold a popular local high school football star with that kick.

    Only a pilot with a hand gun and enough time could have averted it.
