Does Concorde Tragedy Foreshadow AF447?
113 victims died in the Concorde jet that crashed in Gonesse France on July 25, 2000. After 10 years of investigation, a court may be ruling in a manslaughter case in December all though culpability is still not satisfactorily established.
The crash may have been caused by a titanium strip that fell off the Concorde to the runway.
The people of Gonesse, where the plane crashed, are dissatisfied with French efforts to protect individuals who reside near airports.
Likewise, the families of victims of Air France Flight 447 are dissatisfied, not only with safety concerns but with the abandonment of the search of the victims, although there have been hints of another round of searches beginning at some time in the future.
Others point to possible cover-ups, from knowing about the pitot problems to conspiracy theories about the black boxes already having been found.
