Donnie Wahlberg credited God and the pilots for averting a "serious disaster" after a private jet he was traveling on skidded off the runway and struck a perimeter fence at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on Sunday. The incident occurred around 11 a.m. local time during a planned takeoff following a New Kids on the Block concert in Las Vegas. According to the airport, the general aviation aircraft veered off runway 1L and collided with the fence. No injuries were reported. Wahlberg shared details of the event via social media, describing the moment as "intense" and expressing gratitude for the safety of himself and the seven others aboard. "We're all okay," Wahlberg stated in a video posted online. He noted that the plane did not lift off the ground before running out of runway space and nearly hitting trucks and heavy equipment nearby. He emphasized the role of the pilots in preventing a potential catastrophe. "The airplane did take some lumps, but we did not," Wahlberg said in an Instagram caption. He also thanked the emergency responders present at the scene for their assistance. Airport spokesperson Monika Bertaki confirmed the incident and mentioned that two runways were closed for inspection afterward. The Federal Aviation Administration temporarily halted planned flights to the airport, leading to delays. The airport has recorded over 370,000 operations and served more than 34 million passengers through August 2026.
