The documentary shown how a Concorde airplane met wif a disaster.it was back den in 2000 when the disaster happened in paris. The supersonic airliner which is Air France was preparing to take off from paris airport as usual carrying 109 passengers plus crew onboard. After running for abt 323km/hrs, one of the left engine came on fire!
The control tower immendiatly warn the Concorde airplane Air France flight 4590. But due to a few hundred metres left in the runway, the captain pilot hav no choice but to continue to fly.The captain hav a hard time to control the airplane as the left engine failure and caught wif fire. After 81 secs, the Air France flight 4590 finally crash onto a nearby airport hotel. the Disaster caused many death which includes the innocent hotel guests etc. which bring to a total of 113 death including 109 passengers and crew. It took 2 weeks to identify the corpse as they will badly burn. 5 weeks to actually know the reason causing behind tis disaster.
The reason causing behind tis disaster is because of a scrap mental pieces tat was drop onto the runway. The scrap metal(engine parts) was actually left behind by the previous aiplane which flow 5 mins earlier before the concorde. The concorde airplane runs onto the scrap metal and cause the tyre of the plane to worn out and rubber came out of the tyre. The rubber which weight 4 plus kg, came out, fly into the left engine propeller which also store the fuel. But wad causes the fire without sparks? yesh! is because before the rubber enter the left engine, it cut of one of the wire connecting the plane and it causes sparks! Therefore running out fuel touches the sparks and cause FIRE!! Disaster happen jus like tat. sad case happen. this was also the first disaster happen to Concorde airplane.

After tis incident happen, due to less demand and high expenses on the plane, it stop operation on the 26th november 2003. Concorde airplane which is the fastest passenger plane has gone into history.

And u all know wad?? Singapore airline once was the operator who have been flying the Concorde! so cool! but was den in 1977. I was not even born yet. Singapore airline only manage 3 return flights due to complain by malaysian government due to highly noise pollution produces by the concorde. My dad saw the Concorde b4 when he was in the army. He said back den it was the fastest aeroplane! example a journey to europe takes 18 hrs. But Concorde need only 9 hrs!! It was half of it!! omg!I wish to see it but no more now. hope u all will enjoy it.=DD sorry for such long post.
