It's ironic how they grounded the Concorde instead of the. DC-10 which has crashed more times and caused this crash. That's why I call the DC-10 a death trap. Edit: Since I'm still getting notifications 3 years later. I know this isn't the only reason it was grounded. It was meant to be a joke.

@suny123boy1 What if it wasn't a fault with the aircraft, such the case of Flight 4590?
A lot of inaccurate things people are saying in the comments. Heres what really happened. A piece of the engine cowling fell of a continental airlines DC10 as it went down the runway. When Concord later took off it ran over the metal piece causing the tire to pop and chunks of tire struck exposed wiring in the landing gear and also punctured the wings fuel tank causing a leak. sparks from the exposed wiring ignited the fuel causing the fire and bringing the plane down.

It is more complex than that. I am a 777 pilot and I know a couple of former BA concorde pilots, we all agree that the pilot was also in error. The plane probably could have landed at the other airport, but captain Marty rotated before V1 this is a known fact that came out during the investigation. The shut down an engine because they showed an engine fire but this was not actually the case but I would probably do the same if I get an engine fire indication, but not during my take off roll. I would shut it after take off at a couple of hundred feet. The aircraft was overweight and too slow to fly safely, in the opinion of many this was pilot error as someone else has said Concorde was prone to burst tires. There were other factors like the no2 engine having been worked on that day for a faulty thrust reverser the extra luggage being added just prior to takeoff. All these things add up to a number of errors happening all together. Sorry if this upsets anyone but it is only information that is in the report and the opinion of former Concorde pilots.

Inaccurate view of available seats : That day, Concorde was fully loaded (100 passengers). Inaccurate view of the plane angle and trajectory at the moment of crash : In reality it was about 110° banking left + had more vertical speed than horizontal speed.

They actually recovered from the left overbank which was caused by no.1 ingesting parts of the disintegrating left wing and failing this caused the asymmetric thrust from 3 and 4 to lift the right wing into the 100⁰+ left overbank forcing the pilots to reduce thrust on 3 and 4 or go in inverted but since they were only marginally flying to begin with they stalled and went in on a relatively flat trajectory - when the left wing began shedding parts the crash became inevitable

Fault/smault. Irrelevant wordage. The DC-10 caused the disaster when a part fell off. I don't care if that was down to the mechanics who serviced the part. They either directly worked for the DC-10 operating airline or for a sub-contractor. Don't be so pedantic regarding "fault". It wasn't the fairies or magic moonbeams or a TGV that caused the crash; it was a DC-10.

I see a lot of comments on DC10 issues. Having flown a lot over 45 years and all kinds of planes I can tell you there is litter on runways often. One of the Concorde's issues was it had to be a lot lighter and thus not as able to take a hit from objects. One of its fears was birds and hail would have taken it down. Air plane safety is based on the total hours flown by a model and crashes with and without deaths to see what its real record is in the real world as flown. Safest is the DC3 with some still flying and have been for over 80 years.
@TheColinChapman

Safest is the DC3? Wikipedia is listing over 200 incidents with this plane (16.000 have been built). that's one per 80 planes. The A380 has no fatalities up to date, but will still be in service for several years (251 have been built). The A340 will retire within the next 3 to 5 years, with just a little luck, this might become the first plane that will have had a full career in the skies without any fatalities (380 have been built).

@@TheColinChapman yeah, not sure what that person is on about with the DC-3 being the safest. Research I did, it’s had 419 accidents with 2,707 fatalities. That’s far from being the safest even if it’s as old as it is. A honorable mention is the ERJ-145. Now it’s had a handful of accidents; a couple pilot error but majority skidding of runway due to terrible weather/slick runways, but none ever caused fatalities. If you don’t count those towards the plane itself, it’s a really safe aircraft

@GlobalTossPot you have to look over how many flights all these accidents happened though I mean a hypothetical plane with 10 crashes only would be real safe by the metric you provided here.. even if said plane only had 10 flights so far and that thus it crashed at every flight. And the DC-3 being such an old plane, the total number of flights has to be huge so 419 accidents may actually be a really low number statistically speaking
Imagine the amount of bad luck you must have to run over a small metal shard on a runway that big and then after all the space around you, crash into a hotel...
I was flying from Greece to Sweden the day after. On our seats in the airplane there was newspapers that had the Concord-crash as the main news. My mate who is scared of flying did not really like to "read all about it".
remember being at work when this happened...such a sad shock....thoughts and prayers for all. xx

When the plane was just 25 feet off the ground, Gilles Jardinaud, the flight engineer, shut down the ailing number two engine. Both French and British pilots say it was another disastrous mistake, which breached all set procedures. The engine itself was not on fire, and as the tank emptied and the fire burnt itself out, it would probably have recovered. The fixed drill for shutting down an engine requires the crew to wait until the flight is stable at 400 feet, and to do so then only on a set of commands from the captain.

there was literally 1.2 tonnes of fuel in the tank that was burning out, there was little to nothing the pilot crew could do.
A lot of this is an oversimplification, watch John Hutchinson's Interview on the matter. Many mistakes and false assumptions were made that compounded to cause the disaster. Maybe later in the episode they clarify some things, but for starters, there was no engine fire, and the shutdown of the engine probably doomed the plane because it did not have the power to stay airborne from that moment.

Perhaps someone could answer this question. Why did they ground Concord after this accident? The cause of this accident was not directly related to the airliner. The debris could have hit any commercial jet just right and caused this catastrophic event. Furthermore, many commercial airliners have crashed due to their own mechanical and/or pilot failures yet they are still in service.
