In 2012 , Wahlberg was quoted in a magazine interview regarding what would have happened if he had flown aboard American Airlines Flight 11 on September 11 , 2001 . He had been booked on Flight 11 , but his plans changed the day before the scheduled flight and he cancelled his reservation . Wahlberg received public criticism for stating , " If I was on that plane with my kids , it would n't have went down like it did , " and " 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 , do n't worry . Wahlberg issued a public apology after family members of those killed on the flight expressed outrage about his statements
