Fighter jets grounded after wheel falls off

Australia grounded its 26 U.S.-made F-111 fighter jets, hours after one of the air force planes was forced to make an emergency landing because a wheel fell off after takeoff.

Live television images showed the F-111 on a long, low approach before it finally touched down at the Royal Australian Air Force's Amberly base near Brisbane.
