The Concorde was a symbol of national pride for the post-Imperial countries, a way of remaining on par with the two superpowers that emerged from the Second World War for the two nations that came out of that conflict in desperate search of new sources of identity in a world that had left their greatest glories. I wouldn't wish that experience upon anyone. Air France Flight 4590 was the Concord’s only fatal accident in its 31-year history (no other commercial aircraft has matched that record).
It is a long time ago though, it is not fresh in my mind still, but it is definitely a date that won't be forgotten.
History at your fingertips I was only worrying about myself which is much easier and more bearable.”Back in 2000 Concorde was the pride of the air, a symbol of luxury and success – the supersonic jet that could take you from London to New York in less than four hours.But when the plane crashed to the ground in a ball of flames killing 113 people – shattering the supersonic dream that had made the world a smaller place.There are few grainy images of Concorde's flight to tragedy, but those that exist show the true horror of the disaster.The jet was filled with German holidaymakers heading for a trip of a lifetime to join a cruise ship in New York.As it powered down the runway at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, flames were seen shooting out of one of the engines.But with only 2km of runway remaining and travelling at high speed, captain Christian Marty had no option but to take-off.A Spanish truck driver and his wife were driving past Charles de Gaulle airport at the time. The aircraft exceeded recommended takeoff weight, and it was missing a “spacer” in the landing gear mechanism, possibly causing the aircraft to skid down the runway.

Fuel poured from the tank and ignited. While the basic Cause Map starts with five Why questions, the detailed analysis of the Concorde accident contains over 100 cause-and-effect relationships. Our editors will review what you’ve submitted and determine whether to revise the article.Air France grounded its remaining Concordes immediately; A French government investigation into the crash later determined that the Concorde ran over a strip of metal on the runway, causing a The strip of metal on the runway was found to be a Critics of the official report pointed out other possible contributory factors that had been largely discounted by the French investigators. The fuel tank that was inside the left wing was unusually full, and the resulting lack of air space in the tank caused it to rupture and send fuel pouring outward with great force when debris from the tire struck the wing thus creating a shock wave that weakened the tank.
In the case of the Concorde crash, we don’t need to examine why the hotel was built where it was, or why the patrons who were unfortunately killed were standing where they were at the time of the incident.Rather, it would serve us better to acknowledge that there is often uncertainty, unknowable purposes behind things, and many of them may not contribute to the root cause analysis itself because it won’t explain the incident in a useful way.Because the Cause Mapping approach to root cause analysis draws its power by virtue of being so visually appealing and easy to understand, we have produced a poster of the Concorde Cause Map, containing a basic and detailed analysis of the accident. Sometimes, when an organization goes long enough without an incident, members of the organization may begin to question procedure:“We know this stuff.
