Delta Boeing 757 Loses Nose Tire Moments Before Takeoff

A Delta Air Lines Boeing 757 lost its nose tire just before takeoff at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, causing the aircraft to sit on the runway for about three hours while waiting to be towed. The incident led to other planes being rerouted and delayed, with air traffic control and pilots discussing the situation over the radio. Both Boeing and the airport deferred to Delta for comment, and the airline did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
