Story summary

On October 16, 2026, a Dassault Falcon 50 private jet skidded off the runway at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas and crashed into a perimeter fence around 11 a.m. The aircraft was en route to Toronto’s Pearson International Airport but did not get airborne due to running out of runway, according to actor Donnie Wahlberg who was onboard. No injuries were reported; however, the incident led to the closure of two runways for safety inspections and caused delays for over 360 flights before the FAA lifted its ground stop by Sunday evening. Passengers on board included Wahlberg and actress Amy Jo Johnson from "Power Rangers," both expressing gratitude for their survival on social media platforms like Instagram.
