I listen to air traffic control animated incidents on and off on yt, so take it with a grain of salt. But wheels falling off during flight, while I wouldn't say it is common, it is not exactly unheard of as well. Pilots and ground crews are well equipped to handle such incidents.
The plane didn't lose a wheel it has a tire blowout.
