Give Mark Wahlberg credit for a swift, simple and seemingly sincere apology after a boast that he would have fended off 9/11 hijackers and prevented a plane from crashing. For reasons unknown, he said this to Men’s Journal . The quote: “If I was on the [hijacked] 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, ‘Okay, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.'” This came up because Mark was initially booked on one of the fights that was hijacked, only to change it serendipitously. He mused about what might’ve been. It did not go over well. Wahlberg’s reps promptly issued a statement from the 40-year-old Contraband star admitting the foolishness of his statements and expressing remorse. “To speculate about such a situation is ridiculous to begin with, and to suggest I would’ve done anything differently than the passengers on that plane was irresponsible,” Wahlberg wrote. “I deeply apologize to the families of the victims.” “My answer came off as insensitive, and that was certainly not my intention.”
