There are, of course, other good reasons to prefer car travel over plane travel. Indeed!
Before 9/11 I didn’t mind air travel but after the number of issues I have with air travel multiplied.

When I was in the trades, I used to work with people who would do stuff like this just for fun.

The wheel has since been recovered in Los Angeles. I hope this isn't the Mayor's house.

There are 45,000 flights *per day* in the U.S.., handling 2.9 million passengers.
Just sayin’…

Your high tech manufacturing QA is only as good as the muzzie you hired to do it.

Seems more likely to be United.

When a wheel falls off of a 30-year-old Yukon, does the media demand GM solve the problem right now?
United Airlines maintenance is at fault for this one. And since it isn't the first wheel loss out of SFO this year, they might have a sabotage issue on their hands.

No one wants hear about anyone’s successful flight..
Or good news for that matter.

I think that foreign nations infiltrating our manufacturing processes is where the problem is. Food production as well. Trump ain’t gonna fix this.
To: DallasBiff
United says an investigation is now ongoing to determine what caused the wheel to fall off. DEI, Duh!

I serious doubt if that is the factory wheel install on a plane that is 20 or more years old.

Keep in mind that if the plane was more than a year or so old, the fault lies with the airline maintenance, not the manufacturer.

The last two were built in 2005. So unless it was one of the last two on the line, it’s more than 20 years old.

Was it safer to land in Denver than at the original destination?
