  "account": "Las Vegas actor and New Kids On The Block founding member Donnie Wahlberg experienced a terrifying incident recently when his private jet veered off a runway. The 57-year-old pilot detailed the harrowing event in an Instagram video, stating that \"We're all OK. I'm OK.\" The plane attempted to take off from Harry Reid International Airport but failed to gain enough runway, leading to a skid. Wahlberg expressed gratitude towards the pilots, stating, \"These pilots saved our lives and God covered us.\" He humorously added, \"I'm not sure how many fences we avoided, but we didn't avoid the last one.\" However, they managed to dodge trucks, heavy equipment, and dumpsters located behind the runway. Wahlberg also shared that he made the video for his friends and family, as many messages of concern had been received regarding the incident.",
