I remember watching this on the evening news. Such a tragedy. ☹️
That was such a tragic.
A sad end to a beautiful jet liner service which was quite unique.
On 25 July 2000, Air France Flight 4590, a Concorde passenger jet on an international charter flight from Paris to New York, crashed shortly after takeoff, killing all 109 people on board and four on the ground. It was the only fatal Concorde accident during its 27-year operational history. Wikipedia
I seem to remember that the concord pilot had crossed the Atlantic on a windsurf (4k km)
A piece of metal debris on the runway ruptured the fuel tank didn’t it ?
When the DC10 decided to start crashing other planes and not just itself.
A tragic incident that quickened the inevitable retirement of the Concorde.
I think I’ve seen the ACI episode on this just once, it’s just really sad to me.
This flight was truly wrong spot at the wrong time.
One of those, yeah, that’s not recoverable-pictures.
Back when I flew lots of trips to Asia for work I had hoped to get enough airline miles to help get a ticket on the British Airways Concord but was never able to do it before the transatlantic service ended. The crash was truly a sad day for aviation. It will be at least another decade before supersonic passenger flight is popular again. I hope to still be around to fly it.
25 years ago? Damn, that makes me feel old 🙁
It was a tragedy.
I hope we can still rebuild the technology so that we all can travel in that.
I saw it once, it was beautiful.
And everything went massively downhill since then.
9/11
War on terror
financial crisis and bailouts
Harambe
Covid
Ukraine
Serious WW3 vibes right now
Millennials just can’t catch a break.
Concorde – 1 crash, all planes discontinued
Boeing – 1 crash a week… still going strong
It was never used again. The end.
Now we have planes that has the same speed today as they had in the fucking 60’s.
