The Concorde Crash
On July 25, an Air France Concorde crashed during takeoff near Paris, killing 113 people, including 96 Germans. What do you think of this first-ever crash of the supersonic jet?
Bill Ready,
Systems Analyst
"Man, that's more Germans than the French killed in WWII."
Jill Connelly,
Psychologist
"They still have those Concordes? That's so cute. I thought they went the way of Evel Knievel's X-1 Skycycle."
Lynn Innis,
Homemaker
"I almost took that doomed Air France Concorde flight. Thank God, though, I chose instead to fly on Le Jette de Valu."
Michael Kipp,
Landscaper
"I took the Concorde from New York to London in the early '90s, and it wasn't all that great. Macaulay Culkin kept kicking my seat."
Robert Coleman,
Optometrist
"Man was not meant to break the sound barrier, and now we are paying mightily for our hubris."
Doug Dyer,
File Clerk
"I once crashed my dad's Chrysler Concorde, but I only killed, like, four people."
