TL;DR Summary

A Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to Bogota had to abort takeoff after losing a tire on the front landing gear, prompting all passengers and their bags to be transferred to a replacement aircraft. The incident, captured on air traffic control radio, is under investigation, and the plane was repaired and returned to service the following day. The flight was originally operated by a 32-year-old Boeing 757, unrelated to the recent Boeing issues, and Delta Air Lines does not fly the 737 Max aircraft.
