A twist of fate saved Mark Wahlberg's life on September 11, 2001.
Wahlberg, 55, had been booked on American Airlines Flight 11, the plane that was hijacked and crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, but changed his travel plans before that morning, according to a Daily Mail report published Friday, September 11. Instead of making the trip from Boston to Los Angeles, the By Any Means actor traveled to Toronto after a friend invited him to see his film at the Toronto International Film Festival.
All 92 people aboard Flight 11 were killed after five hijackers took control of the plane and crashed it into the North Tower at 8:46 a.m.
On the 25th anniversary of the attacks, Wahlberg acknowledged the emotions that still surround the day.
"This anniversary is always a gut punch of emotions…words just can't say it all. #neverforget911🇺🇸🗽 #freedomisntfree🇺🇸 ," he wrote on Instagram alongside a video of an American flag.

A woman on TikTok, roopzthereitis, explains that her parents had no questions regarding the white woman whom her brother married. She claims that it is yet another example of the double standard that exists in her family concerning racial issues.
This is one of the videos in a series where she, who claims to be of Indian origin, discusses how her family disapproves of her relations with a Black man.
"If I were to bring home a white man, my parents would roll out the red carpet for him. So my brother actually brought home a white woman to introduce to my parents. And they accepted her immediately. They actually didn't even ask her any questions, like what her profession was, where she worked, how much money she made. Because her being white automatically just checked off all the boxes for them," she explains.
As for the comparison, the woman claims that her brother had a big family presence at his wedding, while she doesn't have anything similar because of her relationship.
"My brother had a very easy wedding. Everybody showed up. Everybody was happy that he married somebody that wasn't black," she shares.

Don't even ask Maia Reficco about Plan B, because that was never an option. She's been too busy making Plan A a reality.
That's partly because she "came out of the womb singing," the 26-year-old actress quips during a recent chat with The Hollywood Reporter. "I just have literally never shut up. I've always sung since the second I was born. And my first word was my godfather's name, who is a piano player, and he taught me how to play the piano."

Hayden Panettiere, the former child actress best known for her roles in TV series like "Heroes" and "Nashville," died on Sunday, Aug. 16 − and the news is hitting fans hard.
"I never cried so hard for a stranger in MY LIFE!!!" one user wrote on X.
On social media, tribute posts and comments of disbelief poured in. Panettiere, 36, also starred in "Ice Princess" alongside 2000s icon Michelle Trachtenberg, who died at 39 in 2025.
"First Michelle Trachtenberg now Hayden Panettiere I'm so sad I can't believe this my Ice Princesses both gone," posted another fan. "My brain and heart are still processing this. I can't believe she's no more," one user chimed in.
It's not unusual that Panettiere's death is affecting some fans so deeply. Celebrity deaths can feel personal, even if you never met the person. And while grief is different for everyone, experts say "collective" or "public grief" is a valid experience and can be exacerbated when the death of a public figure is learned unexpectedly in the news or on social media.

Alix Earle is letting fans into her love life in the teaser of her new reality series "Earle Meets World."
The social media influencer's reality series teaser was released on July 31, where she called out her family for supporting her ex, Braxton Berrios. In the clip, she and her family are out to dinner together, where she says, "You all are Team Braxton." While the context of her speaking about her ex-NFL boyfriend is unknown to viewers at the moment, it then shows her dad seemingly responding to her comment with a shrug.
Earle and Berrios dated for two years after fueling romance rumors in 2023. The couple later confirmed their romance in November of that year. The social media influencer would support Berrios at his games when the wide receiver played for the Miami Dolphins. Berrios would also appear in Earle's videos online and at events together.
After Earle competed in "Dancing With the Stars" last season and Berrios didn't come to the first episode, fans believed something was up in their relationship. However, Earle quickly shut down the rumors, noting that the NFL star was preparing for his new season with the Houston Texans.
