Are you suggesting that before cell phones they had wheels falling off, doors/panels ripping off planes, and near collisions on the ground and it just went unreported?

All of those things happened before cell phones. Fatal crashes were also more common.

Absolutely did.
Turkish Airline DC-10 lost a cargo door in flight due to a flaw in design. Killed everyone onboard. Two years earlier, an American Airlines DC-10 also lost a cargo door inflight.
I know a line mechanic that assisted with the replacement of a nose wheel assembly on a DC-9. The wheel separated on takeoff days later and went through the living room of a house. Spindle failed, wasn't an installation error, nor were there any injuries.
