Wheel of a Delta Boeing 757 comes off while it was preparing to take off at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta Airport
That sure looks more comfortable than the can of sardines we currently fly in. And why even make the seats recline an inch or two as polls indicate people are 50-50 about whether they are supposed to be used, which invites more animosity.
Best bet, drive your own vehicle whenever you can :) or keep flights to 2-3 hours, which makes cross country tough.
Complex Systems Won’t Survive the Competence Crisis

Is this sabotage of affirmative action at work?
This surely is down to Delta's maintenance, not Boeing.
“ I am afraid to fly anymore.”
I wouldn’t fly for free and haven’t for a long time screw that
My sister was on a flight this past Sunday from BWI to Denver where they had to shut down one of the engines because it had caught fire. It was a Boeing 737.
DEI hires!! This is exactly what the hell the country is in for!!
I’m beginning to think DEI emphasis in companies is beginning to impact employee training, quality, competence, safety and capability. If employees had been doing their jobs with correct and competent supervision, this should have never happened.
DEI at its finest?
Many years ago I was at a Firestone tire store getting new tires put on a company vehicle, and while I was waiting another car had it’s tires changed, lowered, backed out of the bay, and the customer drove off.
30 seconds later the customer comes walking back into the garage bay screaming “my car is in the street out front and the tires fell off!”
Not one lug nut was put on the wheels, but the hubcaps were firmly in place...
Right out of the misadventures of Sheriff Lobo.
A scene similar is in the opening.
If it’s Boeing,
I’m not going!
Even If My Wheels Fall Off

I ain’t slowing down even if my wheels fall off.
I remember an article back in late ‘60s/early 70s showing a C5-A losing 4 tires on landing. The money quote was “Fortunately, it landed safely on the other 24 wheels.”
Just add some redundancy
It’s a Delta maintenance issue. Nothing to do with Boeing.
Unless Boeing installed left-hand wheel studs and provided right-hand wheel lug nuts.
I even torque my Zwheel lugs to factory specs. Too bad the airlines hauling hundreds of passengers can’t do that
