Donnie Wahlberg says pilots saved lives after Las Vegas jet skidded off runway

Actor Donnie Wahlberg said he and others are safe after his private jet skidded off a runway at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on Sunday, striking a perimeter fence. He credited the pilots with saving lives. In an Instagram video, Wahlberg described the takeoff attempt as failing to gain altitude and running out of runway. He said the pilots avoided obstacles like fences and trucks, and he expressed gratitude for their safety, noting the incident felt intense but brief. The Federal Aviation Administration issued a temporary ground stop for the airport due to the aircraft emergency. The Dassault Falcon 50 jet departed from Runway 1L before veering off the pavement and coming to a stop.
