None of the 184 passengers on this Delta Airlines flight bound for Bogota, Colombia were injured.
According to the American Civil Aviation Authority (FAA), the front wheel of a Delta Air Lines Boeing 757 came off as the plane lined up for takeoff from Atlanta International Airport last weekend.
Neither the 184 passengers nor any of the six crew members of that plane en route to Bogota, Colombia, were injured, according to a preliminary incident report filed by the FAA on Monday.
According to the report, the plane was waiting to take off when “the nose wheel came loose and rolled downward.”
Boeing has not yet commented on this new incident. If we refer to the Airfleets.net website, we learn that this Delta aircraft is 32 years old. The incident could therefore be a maintenance issue rather than a design issue.
