Each landing leg on the 777 has six wheels and the plane can land safely
with damaged or missing tires. As, in fact, it did land at LAX.
The tire falling off was a maintenance issue, done by United Airlines staff.
The plane was built in 2002, so has been flying OK for 22 years.
It is the new planes that Boeing is having quality and design problems with.

Good.  I own one share of Boeing stock.  I want to protect my "investment"
which I have held in order to get the stockholder's reports.

I have nothing against Boeing.  I fly on their products.

Maintenance: oh somebody screwed up so bad it almost suggests intentional
malfeasance.  I do not see how something serious enough to cause a wheel to
fall off could have slipped thru so many required inspections.
