Hi all,

The campaign to get Concorde flying again has attracted 2,000
signatures this week!

Please add your support at
www.save-concorde.com.
Concorde grew old and killed many humans and so was pensioned off so
has not to kill again which it surly would have done .
It was a beautiful aircraft but you wouldn't catch me flying in it now
where it still in service I value my life to much for that .


The Concorde crash has been proven to be debris on the runway and human
error (groundcrew).

Had the debris not been on the runway and the gear been assembled
correctly then the accident would not have happened.

From your post then we should all stop flying 747's. How many people has
the 747 killed?

What is the incidence of fatal or serious incidents in other aircraft
traced to circumstances similar to that of the Concorde? I doubt that
it's as much as Concorde, given how much higher use that type has
provided compared to Concorde in roughly the same period of time. Of
course we have lost 747's, but mostly in incidents of spectacular human
accident/incident (Tenarife, Lockerbie). There is ofcourse FT800 (if
you accept/buy the official story), but the demonstrable safety record
of the 747 still seems spotless in comparison.
