concorde's air france flight no. 4590 crashed in gonesse france on 25th july 2000
Yes, both crew and passengers.
Concorde suffered only one serious (i.e. fatal) incident/crash during its lifetime.
The main trigger was the crash of a Concorde in 2000; all the passengers and crew died. For some years, Concorde had been flying at a loss (even after writing off the huge development costs). After the crash, all Concordes were grounded and airlines took the commercial decision to discontinue the service.
Mostly because of landing gear failures on both take off and landing.
The concorde crashed due to a scrap of metal from a dc-10 left in the runway being sucked through the engine and creating a HUGE fireball.
The big last crash that took Concorde out of schedule was on the 25th of July 2000, It crashed in Gonesse France. Other than that though it had a beautiful safety record
Concorde airlinerThe supersonic passenger aircraft was in use from 1976 to 2003, the last three years being extremely limited after the crash of an Air France Concorde at Paris on July 25, 2000.HMS ConcordeThe sailing warship HMS Concorde was originally a French ship built in 1777, and captured in 1783. It served with the British Navy until 1807.
It was extremely expensive to operate, the fleet was aging, and the misinformed public asked for it after the crash of flight 4590. The cause of that crash was FOD on the runway that fell off a DC-10. There is a lot of information about that crash on wikipedia just search flight 4590.
