Really, Mark Wahlberg?

What was he thinking when he said this??? Publicist/Agent mandated apology soon followed
======================================================================

In an interview with Men’s Journal, Wahlberg discussed how he has stayed tough as he has matured. This somehow led to the actor — who was scheduled to be on one of the planes that crashed on Sept. 11, 2001 — to say this:

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.”
This comment upset at least one family member of a 9/11 victim. A widow of a man who was aboard Flight 93 told TMZ, “For him to speculate that his presence on board could have stopped everything is silly and disrespectful.”.......................

All of what he said could be very well accurate if he had been on that plane, but it also doesn't mean they would have landed somewhere safely. Is he a pilot?
