On July 25, 2000, Air France Flight 4590, a Concorde passenger jet on an international charter flight from Paris to New York, crashed shortly after takeoff, killing all 109 people on board and 4 on the ground. It was the only fatal Concorde accident during its 27-year operational history. Before it crashed, a Mcdonnell Douglas DC-10 plane took off from the runway, leaving a strip of metal which caused the Concorde to crash, When the Concorde was taking off, one of its tires ran over the strip of metal and it caused it to blow out, a large fragment of rubber then struck a fuel tank on the underside of the left wing. Due to the Concorde already in the air, it didn’t have enough time to land, causing it to crash into a hotel building 2 minutes after takeoff. Due to this event, it’s one of the reasons why Air France discontinued the Concorde in 2003.
