Default RE: The Concorde disaster

I can't believe that any country would seek a manslaughter indictment over a pretty obvious "human error" crash. Unless the persons involved deliberately tried to crash the aircraft. But this has certainly happened before. Remember the crash of Air France flight 296?

The captain, first officer as well as 2 Air France officials and the President of the airport flying club were all charged with involuntary manslaughter. They all were in fact convicted. This crash was 100% attributed to human error.

May all 113 souls Rest in peace.
