Donnie Wahlberg's private flight out of Las Vegas took a potentially dangerous turn over the weekend.
The "Boston Blue" star, 57, was on a private plane set to depart from Harry Reid International Airport Sunday, Oct. 18, when the aircraft skidded off the runway and hit a fence, he revealed in a video posted to Instagram that afternoon.
"We're all OK. I'm OK. We were taking off and didn't get up in the air, and ran out of runway – and the runway is way over there," he said, pointing into the distance as emergency responders could be seen in the background. "I'm just going to tell you, these pilots saved our lives, and God covered us, because I'm not sure how many fences we avoided, but we didn't avoid the last one."
Wahlberg then turned the camera to show "trucks and heavy equipment and the dumpsters" the aircraft was able to divert away from. "God is good. We just finished praying, and I looked out the window and said, 'We are not going up in the air today,'" he added.
"But we're safe and thankful, and all is well," he concluded. "Don't worry. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. We're all OK."
In the caption, he thanked everyone for their "concern and well wishes," noting he originally recorded the video to send to his friends and family, "but so many of you all are my family too so I figured I’d share with you."
"Yes, it was me and my team/friends onboard the aircraft. It was a rather intense few moments (which felt like a few long minutes)," he wrote, further praising the "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. Thank you to all the emergency personnel on the ground in Las Vegas! You all were absolutely wonderful," Wahlberg continued. "All glory to God! By His grace, we are all ok. 🙏🏼❤️🥹🙌🏼 His #love truly is eternal."
Air traffic control audio, obtained by TMZ, revealed the moment the takeoff turned into an emergency, as pilots declared, "Aborting, aborting."
Harry Reid International Airport also confirmed the incident on X shortly after it occurred "at approximately 11 a.m." local time. They also stated there were "no known injuries" and informed travelers there may be delays due to closed runways.
Wahlberg had been in Las Vegas for the final show of his music group New Kids on the Block's residency, which concluded Saturday, Oct. 17.
