  1. Celui Qui a mis la barre de fer sur la piste pour le crach du concorde est près à dire son nom car il y a plus de 20 ans et il ne risque plus rien pour la justice mais il faut 500 millions pour sa réussite.

  2. Decision speed – why can't takeoff be aborted at any speed? Runways should be designed to be long enough for that, no? Or is it more complicated than that? In any case, my basic instinct tells me the chance of survival is higher if the plane doesn't leave the ground.

  3. Skip this video. It's the usual overblown and crapola Smithsonian "analysis" with dummy footage and a wordy narcissist providing a simplistic explanation. Why not use the REAL video?

  4. 1)어질어워요?깡기?
    2)안주세요벺으먼지비엥기안엤어나…않뒤요

    1) Are you dizzy? Rhino-virus?
    2)Please have a sit, vape air-particles in the airplane…you can't

  5. Many planes take off overloaded and not within their Center of Gravity limits causing tail strikes which can also leave debris on the Runway – very scary

  6. too much speed for not take off,unfortunatly concord couldn't weight more miles in this situation 320 MILES PER HOURS AT V1,v1 and rotate were the logical air proovment after so much gas!!no parachute system to prevent the bad event..

  7. The Yanks never liked the existence of this magnificent piece of aeronauticaL ENGINEERING! The tragic
    incident in Paris was surely the result of inadequate aerodrome runway maintenance.
