A Delta Air Lines plane lost a nose tire while it was taxiing to prepare for a departure from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport over the weekend, prompting a probe by the Federal Aviation Administration.


Delta Flight 982 on a Boeing 757 was preparing for takeoff to Bogota, Colombia, at around 11:15 a.m. Saturday when “a nose gear tire came loose from the landing gear,” the Atlanta-based airline said in a statement.



Passengers and their bags were taken off the plane. They were transported to the gate by bus and eventually boarded another plane. The flight took off more than five hours late, according to FlightAware.com.

“We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience,” Delta said.



The FAA said it will investigate.

They’re not checking everything before every flight. Yeah it would cost money. But these are peoples lives at risk. Air Force one is checked before every single flight. No reason civilians shouldn’t have that level of assurance. And yes. They can afford to do the checks :birdman:

Late stage capitalism

We’ll see a lot more of this from corporations as they continue to cut corners to maximize returns for “shareholders”. The CEOs collect their “golden parachute” in the tune of 10-20 million dollars and the process is repeated with the next CEO as the company continues to get gutted. Many will pay for it with their lives while a few a$$holes get rich.
