A couple of years ago a Cherokee at our airport (SMQ) had a main strut blow
out on takeoff, leaving the strut and wheel dangling by the brake line. A
low pass over the field confirmed what was making all the noise down there,
so the pilot headed for Trenton where they had better emergency equipment.
On the way the banging stopped, and after a completely uneventful landing on
one main and the wingtip, the wheel and strut were found to be missing. No
one ever reported it going through their roof. It's never been seen.

Some years ago up here in Edmonton a wheel came off a
DC-6 ( I believe ) and went through someone's roof.

The owner of the house or apartment had just gone into the kitchen to
make a snack when kaboom.... right into the living room.

To the locals ---- correct me if I am wrong.
