Mark Wahlberg says he could have prevented 9/11 hijacking

Published : Wednesday, 18 Jan 2012, 2:31 PM EST(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - Mark Wahlberg is known for his roles in hard-hitting, action-packed movies, but his most recent claim that he could have single-handedly over-powered the terrorists on 9/11 has many wondering if the actor has gotten caught up in his movie persona.
In an interview with Men’s Journal , Wahlberg said “"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.'"
Deena Burnett-Bailey whose husband Thomas Burnett was one of the heroes that rushed the cockpit on Flight 93 told TMZ that she thinks Wahlberg’s comment is “disrespectful” and downright “silly.”
"Does Mark Wahlberg have a pilot's license? Then I think hindsight is 20/20 and it's insignificant to say what you would have done if you weren't there. "
She added, “Sounds like someone is grandstanding."
Wahlberg has not returned calls to TMZ with a comment; however, his movie "Contraband" took the top slot at the weekend box office raking in $24 million, according to early figures
