Mark Wahlberg apologised for claiming that he could have stopped one of the 9/11 planes crashing into the World Trade Center, admitting that his comments were 'ridiculous'and 'irresponsible'.<br /><br />The actor sparked outrage with his assertion that he would have battled terrorists and taken control of the plane if he had been on board.<br /><br />  <table style="width: 70px; height: 42px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="70" align="right" border="1">  <tbody>  <tr>  <td><img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/jan/wahlberg.jpg" border="0" /></td></tr></tbody></table>He was scheduled to be on one of the Boston-to-Los Angeles flights that crashed into the twin towers, but cancelled his ticket a few days before the tragedy struck.<br /><br />Wahlberg claims the events of September 11, 2001, would have played out differently if he had kept his seat.<br />"If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn't have went down like it did," he said.<br /><br />"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'."<br /><br />He has now admitted he was wrong to make the unsupported claim, saying, "To speculate about such a situation is ridiculous to begin with, and to suggest I would have done anything differently than the passengers on that plane was irresponsible. I deeply apologise to the families of the victims that my answer came off as insensitive, it was certainly not my intention."
