About time.
The Concorde was an amazing plane. Only one crash and it wasn’t really the plane or pilots fault.
Flew from 1976 to 2003.
Dont believe it was retired due to the accident.
It was the recession after 9/11 and less demand to travel for business meetings due to email and video conferencing. Most of the Concorde passengers were high-level businessmen and diplomats.
Only one crash and it wasn’t really the plane or pilots fault.

The Concorde turned out to be a dangerous design like the Space Shuttle, so it should get some blame.
I’d place the majority of the blame on whoever neglected to sweep the runway, because the dangerous weaknesses of the aircraft were known and the runway was supposed to be sweeped.
