    The Concorde was one of the most iconic planes to ever fly. Its distinctive design and high performance cemented the plane in aviation history as one of two as of 2021, passenger aircraft to fly faster the Mach 1. The Speed of Sound. For over 30 years, the Concorde would fly without a fatal incident under its name. However on July 25th, 2000, this all changed.
    Upon Take-off at Paris’ Charles De Gaulle Airport an Air France Concorde would burst into flames as it barely climbed. What caused this accident to happen? Why did Air France Flight 4590 Crash at Paris?

    I find it really odd how the McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 kept flying for years after a slew of incidents (most notable being American Airlines Flight 96, Turkish Airlines Flight 981, American Airlines Flight 191 and United Airlines Flight 232), while a single fatal incident pretty much destroyed the Concorde's reputation for good.

      Concorde didn't end operation because of this crash. It obviously played a part but the cost per flight hour, maintenance costs, and diminishing requirement for supersonic all played a bigger part. The DC is superior to the Concorde in every way (speed being the exception of course).

    • @Crumbdumpster27
      @Crumbdumpster27 2 года назад +40

      Because not all of the DC-10 crashes had anything to do with the plane itself, but the poor maintenance of it, like AA 191. And once the cargo door was redesigned, the plane was a reliable and safe workhorse. I really feel like it got an undeserved reputation as a death trap.

    Love your work. There's something morbidly fascinating about this subject that makes it quite addictive viewing. I think perhaps because, of all the forms of transport available to us, you at least have a chance of survival in something like a car crash, a ship sinking or a train derailing. If something goes wrong in a plane however, your chances of making it are slim to zero.

      Not entirely true.. I wouldn't want to have a blow out on a motorway at 70mph.
      What is not mentioned here is the pilot putting excessive fuel in, some other odd decisions that didn't help the planes situation.. I think i know where u are coming from though, most accidents are sudden where as on a plane, if the situation is dyer then you have no escape and time to see imminent death coming.

    One thing I don't miss about the concord is the loud noise it produced, my parents & I (dad still lives there now) lived in the direct flight path of Heathrow Airport in a 12 storey block of flats the noise of the concord was so loud even at the altitude the concord was at the windows in mine & my parents bedroom & the windows & door to the balcony in the living room would rattle. The 747's noise sounded like a fly buzzing by your ear. I always dreamed of buying tickets for my parents to fly on the concord for their 25th anniversary in 2010 sadly that didn't happen.

    The engine did not fail or catch fire, it overheated due to the fire caused by the fuel that was pouring from the ruptured tank. The fire ignited due to electrical cables that had severed arcing causing a spark. The flight engineer suspecting an engine fire shut down the engine, this was an error as the engine was still producing some power. Had he not shut down this engine they may have made it to Le Bourget. He shut it down without asking the Captain first which was the second mistake he made.

    • @caracalfloppa4997

      @ronjon7942 Год назад +1

      Regardless, the FE responded properly based upon the information he had in those brief seconds; his instrumentation told him #2 had an engine fire and he acted accordingly per procedure. Everyone acted properly with the information available to them at the time, and the FE is not required to ask the pilot what to do; acting per procedure on what he observes on his instruments and notifying the captain and FO was the entire point of having a flight engineer. I do not know the exact situation during this era (or now, for example, on a 747-200) but there was a time when the FE literally owns the throttle quadrant, and actually reached between the two pilots to set the throttles to a level appropriate for that particular takeoff.

    That's horrible. Thanks for uploading! One can't blame British airways or Air France, or the Concorde for this, it's on the maintenance folks in Tel Aviv who did a bad job on the sheet metal on the DC-10 I think it was.
    The Concorde was doomed due to high operating costs and a lack of enthusiasm over the flying hours saved. I'd love to save four hours flying overseas, but I couldn't justify the ten times higher cost. There are those who can, I'm sadly just not one of them.

    My teacher in aviation maintenance school used to work for continental airlines when this happened. Before any Concorde flight the runways were required to be swept of debris before the Concorde could take off. French airport authorities failed to clean the runway before takeoff and led to the piece of metal being left on the runway.

    • @ronjon7942

  • @thomasfx3190
    @thomasfx3190 Год назад +1

    I watched this all live on CNN. My understanding from reading the accident report is that the 1st officer initiated the fire extinguishers in the right side engines mistakenly instead of the left side as intended. I don’t know if they were able to restart these two good engines, but the adverse yaw caused by the dragging two left engines caused the aircraft to slow and yaw so severely that it struck the hotel tail first, which if you think about it is an amazing aerodynamic occurrence. Terrible day, so awful.

    When I was really young, I had a model Concorde, but at the same time, I never saw it fly ever, let alone even seen it in person. Whenever I asked back then, I was simply told that it didn't fly anymore - some accident occurred.

    Loads of stuff missing from this video. The pilot never ordered the engine shutdown. It was overweight, a spacer missing from the left wheel bogey, which caused the plane to literally go off the runway. It rotated at too low a speed in order to avoid another plane to it's left. This wasn't a simple case of running over a metal strip and then crashing. The investigation was a cover up by the French to get the blame and possible payouts shifted to the other airline.

    Awful disaster.. And yet, not just because i'm british, i'm annoyed the Concorde was condemned and fell from favour as far more planes of different models go wrong far more often with fatalities...and it wasn't even caused by the Concorde its self, rather a DC10 that left some scrap alloy on the runway! Tragic loss of life, but one incident causing the downfall of Concord, yet other designs still in the air being fatally flawed for decades, can't help but feel bias was the reason.. Though admittedly that point of no return problem is quite scary and being sat with that much jet fuel around would probably worry most people!

    Chloe, you it wrong at the start.......... she is THE MOST ICONIC aircraft in history and we've gone backwards in aviation now we no longer have the most beautiful aircraft ever to fly.😢
    At the time she was designed, she was way ahead of her time and pretty much had a fly by wire system when all other aircraft had wires and pulleys.
    What's ironic here is that, after this accident and the announcement that she was going to be retired, she was more profitable than she'd ever been for BA.

    The Concorde was moving in the right direction towards development. The issues with the tires could have been resolved. If the plane continued to be developed over time, fuel usage could have been adjusted this bringing the seat prices down resulting in more development. See where I'm going here? Think about the Wright brothers back then and where we are today! I lay NO blame on the pilots. They had no idea there would be FOD on the runway and by/if the time they saw it, they were going too fast to react safely.

    • @ronjon7942
      @ronjon7942 Год назад +1

      Tire debris ingested into #1 caused it to fail and #2 stalled out because of the smoke and hot air (and maybe debris?) sucked into the compressor section. Also, the intense heat and/or flames illuminated the engine fire sensors; since the FE believed they had an engine fire in #2, procedure dictates that engine must be immediately shut down. Meanwhile the impact of debris and the fire ruptured hydraulic lines, making it impossible to control the aircraft; the pilot had no power boost and was only able to use his muscle power to attempt to move the elevons…unsuccessfully. Finally, the fire melted or burned the actual control surfaces and their mounting brackets. In very short order it was impossible to control the aircraft, and only two of the four engines were producing thrust which made it impossible to climb. Also, the extreme asymmetrical thrust line was forcing the aircraft to bank left, ultimately beyond 100 degrees. In fact, the thrust levers on engines 3 & 4 were pulled down to idle in a final, desperate, and futile attempt to right the aircraft…maybe in an attempt to get the plane horizontal again to perform an emergency landing.
