The outlet cited the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and confirmed that the aircraft was a Dassault Falcon 50 that was bound for Toronto Pearson Airport in Canada from Harry Reid International Airport.

With the caption, Wahlberg also explained how the pilot saved their lives in a video.

“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... 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,” he said.

Harry Reid International Airport said in a statement on Monday that there were no injuries and two runways were closed for some time. The runways were closed for inspection, and the airport expected some delays.
