Concorde stopped flying due to it's cost to continue, not the crash. Remember that once upgraded etc, it took two the airways following the Paris accident. Quite simply the 'modern' Internet provides video conferencing etc and times are financially difficult, so there's not the need or justification for businessmen to use it! That's where the monies came from to keep it in service.. Additionally, Airbus had given notice to cease manufacturing the spares for her. Although designed in the 70's it

As much as I want Concorde to fly again it will never happen even if we (the public) raised enough money. Its flying certificate was removed ever since it was grounded and it is impossible to get another one. And also Airbus stopped making parts for Concorde... meaning it would be impossible to keep only one (or all) Concorde(s) maintained. One can only wish, and I do wish.

@markflack The crash had something to do with it. A lot of potential passengers didn't trust the plane anymore and it also increased the costs of general maintenance with the upgrades to the tanks and tires.

@markflack I agree, although do you think that it is a coincidence that it stopped flying all of a sudden..after the crash? Rather odd isnt it... They pulled it. No doubt about it. Bastards.

@BBQFanNo1 Thanks and a Happy new tear to you too :-)

Its OK, your right. Forget the apocalypse though, it will be far less painless then you think...

@1982FMJ Not everybody is. You are making an ignorant preconceived presumption judging people instead of researching the facts.

The collapse of all universal empires are from people trying to be God in their rebellious and stubborn pride!!!!

@1982FMJ Stupid self centred greedy human error people in power led to the death of those people just as it did on 9-11.

@1madaboutguitar We are collapsing in America just as the Roman Empire collapsed. I see it and I see the World Apocalypse also.

why is it people are remembering concorde more than the victims who died? THats really fucked up

[paccodata]

The real shame is even if concorde was too expensive to operate commercially,at least a couple shou;ld have been maintained to fly at special events,it is also my view that concorde should have only been leased to an airline it is far too important to european aero history never to fly again,my feeling is the british government should have stepped and help to have saved a couple,but hte trade secretary at the time patricia hewitt fluffed the chance shame on her.and all concerned.
