Sorry to nitpick, but this incident wasn't Boeing's fault.
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.
