New Kids on the Block singer-turned-actor Donnie Wahlberg barely avoided a catastrophe over the weekend. As confirmed by PEOPLE, Wahlberg was aboard a private jet that skidded off the runway at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on Sunday, October 18th.
Wahlberg revealed in an Instagram video, pointing back into the distance, “We were taking off and didn’t get up in the air and ran out of runway,” . “I’m just going to tell you these pilots saved our lives. And God covered us.”
Details of the Incident
He continued, “I’m not sure how many fences we avoided, but they didn’t avoid the last one. We avoided those trucks and heavy equipment and the dumpsters behind that. God is good. We just finished praying, and I looked out the window and said, ‘We are not getting up in the air today.’ But we’re safe and thankful, and all is well.”
In the caption, Wahlberg said he originally sent the video to family and friends, but decided to share it publicly because he considers so many of his fans to be his family, too. “Yes, it was me and my team/friends onboard the aircraft. It was a rather intense few moments,” the Blue Bloods and Boston Blue star wrote. “Thankful to God, of course, and to our incredible pilots who did an amazing job of keeping us safe and avoiding a serious disaster. The airplane did take some lumps — but we did not.”
Current Projects
The second season of Boston Blue, starring Wahlberg as Detective Sergeant Danny Reagan, premiered on CBS earlier this month.
In conclusion, Donnie Wahlberg is safe and sound after a harrowing experience on a private jet that skidded off the runway at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. The incident is a reminder of the importance of skilled pilots and the power of faith. Wahlberg’s fans can breathe a sigh of relief, and the actor can continue to focus on his successful career, including his role in Boston Blue.
