Default RE: The Concorde disaster

Well,

I'm really scared about this post here, what it says, and what it will becomes.

An article was posted, with different conclusion about this crash and causes. Everybody have right to have his own opinion. But here there was 113 killed, with families, etc...

Are you saying that the french BEA, equivalent to american NTSB, should have wrong conclusion ? Well, maybe... But who will gain something ? Concorde was grounded after this crash, there was only 12 builded and commercially fly. At the time of crash there was only 7 or 8 flying. It comes back to air after, only for very few years more of service. This crash killed Concorde, that was not enough ? We need another debate on that ?

This crash is a "no chance" crash, with critical occurences going one after other, leading to a bad crash. A plane lost a tiny part on the runway. An other plane put its tires on this part, that held to critical failures.

There was a problem with the DC-10, there was probabely problems with Concorde. So what ? Does this will make onbord peoples comes back ?

It was not the first time that a hole was created under the wing by something. Last time, there was a big hole under the wing with massive fuel leaks. But it was not fired by the engine and the Concorde have just done a perfect circuit to come back and land.

On the Paris crash, the pilot done a faboulous job to take off the hurted plane, try something, and finaly crash the plane on the only crashable site in the vicinity of Roissy ! I know the site because I'm living not far from it and sometime drive through and around there, before and since the crash date. There are homes and buildings and factories everywhere here ! This hotel is just near a grass flatland that was on the trajectory and I'm pretty sure that the pilot tried to voluntary crash the plane here instead that suffer a totally incontroled on a factory or houses few seconds later.

Even the hotel was not destroyed ! The plane crashed on an attick of the hotel, not the hotel itself.

Please be very careful with your text here. It's not a game.
