No, that's a very extreme example of what happens when you continue to drive a car which has loose lug nuts.
That car had to be wobbling like crazy just before that wheel fell off.
A long time ago (mid-70's) I rode about 60 miles on I-26 with my girlfriend in her '64 Ford wagon and one wheel had 2 or 3 loose lug nuts.
It was the right front and she could feel it long before it got too bad, but we had to stop about every 5-10 miles so I could tighten them up. Fortunately, it was on the right, so it kept me from having to do it with traffic flying by at my back.
That wheel was a goner when the trip was over. I would have put the spare on, but I think it was flat when I looked.
