Makes me sick, concorde flew for over 30 yrs without incident, 1 bad crash caused by bad maintanance on a continental jet leaving debris on the runway, and they are grounded. B737 fly each day, with a severe fault in their construction. Which can be catastrophic, it has already caused one crash, and one near crash. Boeing do nothing. Airbus and Boeing were both jealous of Concorde. The most beautiful aircraft, I flew on it once LDN - JFK in 1994

I don't see why he would be an asshole. Perhaps it is time for you to learn German, then all this will not annoy you anymore.

@unigateman After the crash, concorde almost went bankrupt. fuel prices increased and too bad concorde was using fuel like a kid eating candy.

@Sandiforty One hell of an INNOCENT aircraft!

[Sandiforty]

I admire pilots of all sorts of planes, but when it comes to the Concorde one hell of an aircraft.

@unigateman why the fuck you say about the boeing 737?? Airbus has too many faults

@unigateman what you say is nice but not totally true dear! the fact why concorde is cancelled in using is that of its costs. Even airlines charge high ticket fees for flights, it could never cover its flight costs. It was also considered to stop using them before the fatal crash. However, firms insists to use it cos it was appeared as like Superiority, having concordes in the air transportaion market. But the decision was given just after the crash.

@TheWarPlanet

All this shows is that you can't do BASIC statistical comparison, lol.

Only 20 Concordes ever flew, with 1 fatally crashing. 1 to 20 hull to fatal writeoff ratio.

6,943 of the 737 have flown as of today. For it to have Concorde's same 1 to 20 ratio, 348 of them will have had to fatally crash. Obviously, nowhere near that amount have. Which sorta torpedoes the simplistic notion of it "probably crashing more than Concorde"

@MegaMrDamo

Poor assumption. For example, try pricing a 1st Class ticket on Emirates from LAX to Dubai. Or on Cathay Pacific from JFK to Hong Kong. People pay those kind of fares all the time, even now.

But Concorde had a very niche customer base, and it didn't return to the levels it once was. That does not in any way mean people aren't paying huge 5 digit fares to fly, because they do, all day every day.
