Anyone who says airplanes are the safest mode of travel, I think that’s absolutely incorrect. Although there are less plane crashes then car crashes, car crashes don’t kill like 150 people, and also the chances of surviving on a plane or so much slimmer and plus the number of things that could go wrong are uncountable. I hate going on airplanes.

A sad way for a great flying machine to go. A middle aged couple on that flight had saved up 15 yrs for the air ticket. One will miss those great transatlantic flights.

When a concord takes off the runway must b cleaned.This neglegent crash was the result of a DC10s engine mount pin that was left there after it landed.The concords wheel hit the pin which pearced the wing tank.
