Continental airline mechanic questioned over Concorde crash
A senior mechanic for the US Continental airlines was questioned Thursday in Paris over a metalstrip of one his company's planes that allegedly brought down the Concorde that crashed in 2000, killing all on board, French officials said. Stanley Ford, a US citizen, supervised the installation of the non-standard titanium strip that fell off a Continental DC-10, which took off on the same runway as the Concorde. The Concorde crashed shortly after its taking off from Paris Charles de Gaulle airport on July 25, 2000, killing all 109 peopleon board and four others on the ground. According to French authorities, the metal strip punctured the Air France Concorde's tyre and caused the explosion of fuel tank. Ford was questioned by the French judge Christophe Regnard, whois heading up the French inquiry. His subordinate, John Taylor, was to be questioned Friday. Enditem |
