A Delta Air Lines plane flying out of Atlanta lost its nose tire as it tried to take off on Saturday, the Federal Aviation Administration has revealed.
The Boeing 757 was set to take off from Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport to Bogota, Colombia on Saturday when the nose wheel came off.
According to the FAA reported, the nose wheel came off and rolled down the hill as during the line up and wait to take off.
The Delta Air Lines Boeing 757 nose wheel incident is the latest in a slew of terrifying incidents involving Boeing aircrafts.
'The 75 on the runway just lost the nose tire,' said the pilot who was behind the Boeing 757, according to audio posted by VASAviation.
The Delta Pilot said, 'Thanks for that … sounds like we got a problem.'
'Yeah, we saw that tire roll off the runway to the south. Looks like it went off the runway, probably down the bank down there,' said the other pilot.
All 184 passengers on board and their bags were removed from the plane put on a replacement aircraft, reported WSB-TV.

Someone broke a manicured nail and couldn’t check the landing gear as carefully as she/they/princess should have.
Good point... and do this enough times, it can ground the entire industry (never mind crashing planes). Time to check on maintenance personnel around the country.
Re: 4 - Says the FReeper that has no direct knowledge of the aircraft in question such as phased maintenance actions, depot maintenance actions, etc.
Do better.
How many? A whole bunch of them.
We are surrounded by ‘tards…
Accurate post.
Hmmmm.....sounding more and more like sabotage.
“My ex-wife was ‘tarded, she’s a pilot now.”
Does the article state the age of the aircraft? After a while, stuff like loose wheels and missing screws are maintenance issues, not manufacturing issues.
WOW!!!!
That was really a great idea by Biden to mandate the COVID VAXX on all airline employees and now we see what happens when thousands of those experienced airline employees quit instead of taking the jab.
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!!
Re: 12 - it’s more than that. The number of ignorant comments on the Internet claiming that such problems are due to DEI is notable. No direct knowledge of the circumstances, maintenance actions, etc.
In one case, someone posted a picture of a black NTSB team member and the DEI hire comments started. In that case ignorance and racism combined.
Pretty illuminating.
Ok which is it? Airbus deliberately sabotaging or the mechanics unions?
I lived in South Florida when the Cocaine Wars were going on.
This may be the final result......................
Re: 18 - that one nut is safety wired if memory serves.
Doesn’t the Delta maintenance crew bear some responsibility here?
I’m sure the investigation committee will scrutinize all maintenance records.................
We’re getting a POTUS Camacho sooner or later.
Terrifying?!?!
Wow, overhype much?
Tires blow all the time on jets. Insane nonsense “terrifying”
I’m not crazy about Boeing of late…..but this is a maintenance issue.
LOL, I have to hand it to you...as a former jet mechanic, your post just made me snort aloud and grin...:)
