on the morning of 9/11, i had a great view of logan airport. thanks for asking



/getting it out of the way

Meh. I mean, it's basically his word that this is true, right?

/skimmed TFA.

That dude who made family guy missed one of those flights too. His agent told him the wrong time or something.

No Bladel, I remember reading about it awhile back-he said he wondered what the hell he woulfd've done since that billionaire tech CEO was the only one in First Class to jump up & take a stand so they butchered him with their boxcutterst. Totally Headless-& Billy West originally had the seat next to him. West was m.c.'ing a breast cancer benefit here in L.A. & had no material so he switched his ticket to the Friday before. He's hosted that benefit every year since

Jaime Pressley was also supposed to be on one of the flights.

:( so close. maybe next time.

Marky Mark and the unwillingly flown into a building bunch?

/almost
//always, always, GET DRUNK IN TORONTO

I was supposed to be on one of the flights as well, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

Booze your on notice!

has anyone found out if Omarion is ok? i'm concerned for him

Partying in T.O.

Ewww...TMI.

I was on a direct flight from Pittsburgh to Boston on or around December 12th, 2005. We had to be de-iced prior to takeoff. Think of me on that date.

Matt Damon was on the Tonight Show a couple of years ago and said he missed that flight from Boston to LA.

Celebs certainly have a hard time keeping travel plans.

If I had a signed Phase 2 contract for my project in California I would have been on Flight 11, which I took every week for 6 months except that week.

And if I had a 2 foot wang, I'd be in movies. What's his point?

If it was a real conspiracy, there would have been a health department shutdown of the bar Mark was going to so that he'd be sure to make the flight.

/Given all the other god like powers the conspiracist have been granted, this one is easy.

My brother's friend worked in one of the towers, she started on September 10th and since she was the new girl she was doing a coffee run.

/Toronto is a fun place to party BTW
//Montreal is a MUCH better place to party though

pray for omarion!

Like Keith Richards, who credits a Hogtown heroin bust with forcing him to go clean, Wahlberg can say a trip to Toronto saved his life.

That tells you all you need to know about this article's level of truth.

/was supposed to stay on the beach in Biloxi the night Katrina hit
//THINK OF ME!!!

Is it just me or did that interview/article suddenly go into advertisment mode abruptly?

it's the new Titanic . . . how many people "almost sailed" on that?

I was almost on the 1981 Air Florida flight to the 14th street bridge!

/not rly
//wasn't even born yet

It seems like almost everyone in Hollywood missed a flight on one of those planes. Could it be that they are all that stoned to the point where they think that?

/oh wait. Hollywood DUH

Old and busted: Saying you just missed being on Buddy Holly's plane.

New Hotness: Saying you just missed one of the 9/11 flights.

wildcardjack: If it was a real conspiracy, there would have been a health department shutdown of the bar Mark was going to so that he'd be sure to make the flight.

It's Canada the only conspiracy is against the maple leafs and letting Toronto think it's the center of the universe.

Feel it! Feel it!

What about when the Party Posse saw the Mad building in NYC being blown up?

On September 11, 2001, I had a view of Marky Mark puking up Molson's from his previous night's party. Thanks for asking.

...and he waited until NOW to say this?

Beer, the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.

Just let the gd movie speak for itself over there, shooter.

/cynic

I was also on American Airlines flight 11, but a few Tuesdays before 9/11. I kind of wish I had hung on to the boarding pass.

/no need to pray for me. I'm already dead...on the inside, at least.

And if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.

Is Mark Wahlberg's birthday this week? This is at least the third link I have seen related to him greenlit over the previous few days. He is like the new Lindsay Lohan.

In every disaster or accident we hear these stories. Some guy gets a flat tire on the way to the airport, misses the plane that crashes. We rarely hear about this guy if the flat tire causes him to miss the flight that lands safely, and take the one that crashes.

If it wasn't for my horse, I never would have spent that year in college.

We chartered a plane to Toronto and we had a lot of fun that night drinking Canadian beer, which is much stronger than U.S. beer.

QFT!

Doesn't he have a movie coming out? Oh yeah. Yes he does. Sometimes it pays to be victim. Sometimes you have to settle for near victim (wasted). My guess, neither victim or near victim. Drunk----probably. Just some hype for his movie. Did you notice this didn't come out until he has, oh yeah, a movie coming out.

My first thought was "Thank God he wasn't on the plane".

Because of my concern for him as a human? No. Because of how disgusted I would be if he was killed. Think of how the Media has reduced the Afghanistan War (the one where they actually should be) into one "Friendly Fire" incident involving a guy who was known to maybe 11 people who weren't his immediate family beforehand.

It would have really sucked on a ginormous level if 9/11 was primarily known for killing Dirk Diggler.

That said, I call shenanigans. He chartered a plane to TO, but was flying commercially to LA? Attention whore.

/My cousin, a pilot, was next to take off at JFK.
//He saw it live, and sat on the runway for four hours wondering if someone was going to burst through the cockpit door with a knife and force him to take off.
///He now flies cargo planes.

The only "oooooh, creepy coincidence" type of thing I can claim is that about a week before 9/11, I was talking with my girlfriends' dad about the time I'd visited the Pentagon on some high school trip, and how I remembered thinking at the time that it was actually a really stupid idea to build the HQ for the entire U.S. Military in such an immediately obvious shape (from the air, of course).

Yeah, that's a great idea--let's take the place where all of the military decisions are made and build it in the shape of a giant bullseye! Never made any sense to me.
