Concorde
Crashed: |
|
A
metal strip found on the runway where the doomed Air France Concorde took off
probably slashed a tire, French accident investigators have said. Pieces of tire
were also found on the runway at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport, following
the crash on July 25th
which killed 113 people. It is likely that the strip "is what caused the
split in the tire," the French Accident Investigation Bureau (BEA) said in a
statement.
This
accident grounded the Concorde after more than 30 years of safe transport.
This was one of the reasons officials were looking
for to ground the only supersonic airliner.
