Clickbait. The FAA lists the plane number as N672DL and a quick flight registry check says that plane was made in 1992. This is a maintenance issue with Delta.
The title is "Nose wheel falls off Boeing 757 airliner waiting for takeoff" and that's exactly what happened. That's not clickbait, since it's not deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading. It's just news.
The only reason it's being reported is because of the other Boeing incident. And if they were trying to be accurate, the headline would've read "Nose wheel falls off Delta airplane waiting for takeoff". It's clickbait.
There were passengers on the flight. I would feel highly uncomfortable after this incident to be on another plane of Delta.
