Kimir, how often do you hear of a wheel falling off a car? Not often... and there are MANY more cars on our roads than planes in our skies. Checks on aircraft SHOULD be a LOT more stringent than on motor vehicles. You would therefore suspect that the likely-hood of a wheel falling off an aircraft is virtually zero when compared to that of a car (considering that I do not recall hearing of a wheel falling off a car in the close to 20 years have been driving).

Would you be a little bit annoyed if a wheel fell off your car? Who could you blame?
The dodgey mechanics?

Or yourself for not giving you car a once over before driving?

Perhaps yourself also for not having the car serviced regularly?
