Mark Wahlberg is continuing to apologize for insulting the victims of 9/11, but goes on to defend his intentions in a new interview.

In the latest issue of Men’s Journal Mark said he would have handled things differently had he been on one of the planes downed by terrorists.

"If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn't have went down like it did," he said. "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.'"
