Delta Boeing Plane Investigated by FAA After Losing Nose Wheel Before Takeoff

The FAA is investigating after a tire from the front nose of a Delta Boeing 757 fell off while taxiing for takeoff at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, causing a delay for the flight to Bogota, Colombia. No injuries were reported, and passengers were put on another aircraft. This incident follows a recent occurrence where a mid-cabin door plug fell off during the ascent of an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9, prompting an emergency landing due to depressurization.
