This is the best summary I could come up with:
A nose wheel fell off a Delta Air Lines Boeing 757 passenger jet and rolled away as the plane lined up for takeoff over the weekend from Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson international airport in the US, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
According to a preliminary FAA notice, none of the 184 passengers or six crew members aboard were hurt in the incident.
The report said the aircraft was lining up and waiting for takeoff when the “nose wheel came off and rolled down the hill”.
The plane had been scheduled to fly to Bogotá, Colombia, and Delta said the passengers were put on a replacement flight, according to the New York Times, which broke the story late on Tuesday.
The newspaper said Boeing declined to comment and directed questions to the airline.
Nobody was seriously injured but the FAA grounded 171 MAX 9 jets and recommended inspections and remedying work.
