at 16 we used to f-around with a couple farm trucks and one day sure enough we didn't tighten (and I mean torque tight, they were hand tight with ratchet) and we didn't make it more then 100yds from the barn back down the driveway out to the fields!

The wheel just fell off, there was some vibration seconds before it fell. There was a slight noise coming from that wheel for a few days, but nothing serious, i shouldn't have overlooked it.

(my emphasis)

Are modern wheels that much different than back in The Good Ole Days? I had the lug nuts come loose on an old ('60s) Mustang (I snugged up the lug nuts before letting the car down and forget to torque them on one wheel) and the whole car vibrated after they backed off only 1/4" (maybe less). There was no doubt that something was very wrong long before it got to the point where the wheel would have fallen off.
