how dare you say that Concorde isn't flying because of this accident! There were NO design flaws at all with this aircraft and this accident was actually caused by a piece of metal on the runway left from a DC 10. The reason why Concorde stopped flying was because of the running costs.
what's this stupid aviation rule thatafter V1 you can't stop?! i'd rather run off the runway and crash at a slower speed, than takeoff in a firey inferno, then crash to the ground at much higher speed and cause more damage and death...
why did they take Concorde out of service? the 747 has had over 30 fatal crashes in its time of operation. Concorde had one, and it is taken out of service. WHY?!?!?!?
@termin8or5555 Because people shit their pants when they saw the flaming take-off footage, and the popularity of Concorde began to decline while the media went into a frenzy, questioning Concorde's safety. Over a period of time, less and less people flew Concorde, and BA eventually decided that it was no longer profitable. Whereas most plane models f*ck up once or twice a year, you rarely see footage of them doing so in such a spectacular and humbling fashion as this.
@stevenmoor; I think you're being a bit OTT with your version of what went on, M8; fact is that Concord (without the 'e') was by far the most successful business jet - and the only supersonic aircraft to break even on its investment costs. There was a previous incident with G-BOAB, a sister ship, where a fuel tank was punctured by runway debris on the takeoff roll, but the plane landed safely; however nothing was done after that incident, and the tanks weren't reinforced. This is the result.
@jonnybee48 So, you seriously think that the public seeing people perishing in a fiery death, had nothing to do with Concorde's (yes, it does have an e,) decline in popularity? It really is very rare to see footage of this kind of incident being caught on camera.
@stevenmoor; you obviously don't understand English or you're deliberately missing the point, Steve - I didn't say anything of the sort. Reading between the lines I think the decision to phase it out had already been made; however because of the lack of action on a known vulnerability, this plane caught fire with disastrous results. That gave the management the perfect excuse for scrapping the entire project despite the fact that Concord was operating at a profit. Too little, too late.
@kpdsza; I don't know what you've read on the subject, but I've followed Concord's career right from the start, M8. Initial and development costs ran to over £1.2 billion funded jointly by Aerospatiale and BAe - the first Anglo-French concordat, hence the name. Although it had a lot of opposition from countries it overflew, it made a reasonable profit from 1977 onwards and just about broke even in 1998 - many tabloids carried the story - and continued until the 2000 crash.
After that, sales plummetted and costs began to rise as all aircraft had their tanks reinforced; sadly, even though this work had been carried out by the beginning of 2002, confidence in the plane had vanished and it became unviable to run on regular schedules - it was retired in 2003.
@jonnybee48 Lovely piece of machinery. Hate to see them go. What amazes me is that with all the computing power available today, we still can't beat the SR-71 and the Concorde.
@kpdsza; agree 100%, M8; however being SS added one more "issue" to an ever-increasing list of things that could go wrong with an AC and could bring it down. Airtech has developed autopilots, slats, flaps, spoilers and all sorts of stuff to make AC more efficient, and put them all under comp control to make them foolproof; however there's now so much of it that even two competent pilots can get overloaded with data when something goes wrong. Time to simplify, perhaps?
Concorde is extremely expensive and not viable for the economies of scale between the cost/benefit. The cost of concorde flights are always more expensive than the benefits it gives. This includes maintenance costs, and other expenses. I think it's one of those technological innovation that is way ahead of its time. It may be useful again sometime in the future where things get cheaper and cheaper. But I don't think we'll see it on air again anytime soon. Probably not in our lifetime.
I don't think its fair that Concorde is no longer in the air. I think that it's Continentals fault. If it wasn't what about the 747's Crashes? The A320 Crashes?
Right ok Im British, and EVERYONE here deals in Miles Per Hour MPH, whats with video's recently with british commentary having KPH involved?! Im not having it, ITS MPH PLEASE GOT THAT ??????
This is a terrible video. Appalling script, dreadful narration, ghasty music. People, don't spend your time on this crap. Watch "Concorde's last flight" instead. For more joyful insight into the history of the Concord watch "Concord - a love story". These videos can be found here on YouTube.
This crash was just the final nail in the allready well constructed coffin of the Concorde, high fuel, airframe and parts cost, unable to land at most airports in the world due to runway room, unable to approach most airports due to noise, decision height variances, and unable to go supersonic over land. The Concorde was built and flown just to prove we could, and we did it in style !
@jellybean it wasn't just the crash. It was the fuel cost. The Concorde used so much fuel the price of a ticket had to be high just to break even for the trip. Like even if a 747 isn't totally full it will still break even when it flies say NYC to London. However Concorde was so small it had to have ever seat filled just to break even for a trip.
Its very sad to read the lies that has been published. The truth of the concorde is as follows.
This particular a/c when first built was reinforced with additional support for its structure and so it was a 1000 kgs heavier. secondly the PIC was less expericienced han his F/O who should have taken control. then this a/c took off from the wrong rwy ie not built for the T/O for the concorde since........
@bikr27 - why did they stop using the concorde? Boeing 737s have crashed and they are still flying today"
It was a combination of things, and the crash was just the final straw. Business flights between New York and London were a huge part of revenues, and since 9/11 the number of passengers had dropped drastically. Also Air France stated they would no longer make replacement parts for Concorde.
@bikr27 dont listen to the video description....its bollocks, athough the crash did contribute a little. the main reason the concorde is not flying today is that she was too expensive to maintain....airbus refused to support it any longer and september 11 caused lower passenger numbers in the future.
@TheMediatore88 guess you are overstating it a little bit... plus, on that accident AF was not involved at all. How can AF be blamed for a strip of metal which off from another aircraft????
@r859ab yeah!! the music is way too loud, aggressive, and fast. it's awful. i've never actually had to quit watching a documentary before based on the soundtrack. totally fucking unwatchable.
I was in the south of France on the day of the crash. I was a massive fan of the concorde and was shocked by this crash. RIP to all those who died in this crash. They are now in God's arms.
@toddles9 People tend to talk about m/s ... such as in "500m/s" ... but then again, what do you expect from people measuring stuff in inches and feets ...
I am so 'Jammy' (English slang for lucky) I was at JFK waiting for a 747 BA flt. to London, when I was asked to pickup the courtesy white 'phone. BA asked me if I would consider being moved from my bus. class, to Concorde as they were overbooked and I was/am a frequent flyer. My answer to the affirmative took 2 seconds. Small, but very exciting.

Concorde was a fantastic technological achievement. FYI British airways was making money with Concorde, not losing. I flew NYC to London on G-BOAA. Fantastic experience traveling faster than a bullet at 60,000ft and seeing the curvature of the earth. Still the tyre burst was a known issue with Concorde. It was not Continental's fault. A small metal strip shold never bring down an aircraft.
The planes that burst nitro from their asses, and that's the reason they were hard to control! xD That explains this tragic crash! N' if i remember MJ bought 1 of this didn't he?
Id like to see Concorde come back, but they were hemeraging money when they were popular....thats why they shut down a couple years after this tragic accident
The crash had a very little to do with the retirement it was the decline of passages after the crash the economic effects and the slump of travel after 9/11 so it was a mixture of factors but mostly because of 2 airliners still used them and how outdated they were

Perfect safety record til this happened... it was a powerful, beautiful, luxurious supersonic plane & shame it stopped flying soon after this tragedy happened.
@scotishdude97 I was thinking about that too.. It sucks. A 747-400 can handle up to 520 passengers compared to Concordes 140. And it still was a single crash.. There must have been like 10k fatalities in 747 crashes altogether.
i dont understand. its always something wrong on the god damn plane and they let them fly ? after like 2375897589 plane crashes , they shuld understand ! FIX THE PROBLEM !
@mattezhackblip some planes like 737's if grounded for even a day would crush some airlines such as southwest. i think thats why they dont ground them, they do what they can to figure out what went wrong, but its not always easy.
unfortunately, it was the plane that got the bad press at the time, and people stopped flying on them. so, with no money coming in, they decommissioned them.
Brings back memories. Great promo for 4 handbuilt Concorde models at scale 1:144 from GTrans International. Check out the website at gtrans.com.au or email for a brochure at john@gtrans.com.au Percentage donation for each sale to the Premier's Flood Appeal

Concord is not flying today because...
1) It was expensive to fly on concord, a load of budget airliners started appearing on the scene as a better alternative
2) After 9/11 a lot of people feared to fly just as Concord was entering financial difficulties due to point 1
3) This crash caused along side points 1 & 2 caused it to cripple the company

The crash had a very little to do with the retirement it was the decline of passages after the crash the economic effects and the slump of travel after 9/11 so it was a mixture of factors but mostly because of 2 airliners still used them and how outdated they were

ppl saved 20 years of their lives to afford to fly on this ... and met their death. 40,000 flights & not 1 fatality.... til this.

Perfect safety record til this happened... it was a powerful, beautiful, luxurious supersonic plane & shame it stopped flying soon after this tragedy happened.

@scotishdude97 I was thinking about that too.. It sucks. A 747-400 can handle up to 520 passengers compared to Concordes 140. And it still was a single crash.. There must have been like 10k fatalities in 747 crashes altogether.

@mattezhackblip some planes like 737's if grounded for even a day would crush some airlines such as southwest. i think thats why they dont ground them, they do what they can to figure out what went wrong, but its not always easy.

unfortunately, it was the plane that got the bad press at the time, and people stopped flying on them. so, with no money coming in, they decommissioned them.

@imkoolkiller99 one without wheels, preferably. put a maglev in a tube (a vacuum), and you can get speeds faster than that of the concorde :)

Great video man, thank you for posting it. By the way 13silvers every nationality and every person makes mistakes so don't generalize like that.

You know, I think this is a Seconds from Disaster episode that somehow ended up calling itself ACI. But it gives the time everything happened, and it's on the Seconds from Disaster list on Wikipedia.

Don't blame the airport or Concorde blame dc-10 and the people that added the part of the engine at the bottom of it that fell off
