contrary to popular belief, it did not cause the immediate retirement of the Concorde, but contributed to it.
Ignorant individual: the Concorde crash was why it was retired!
Smart individual: actually, Air France flight 4590 didn’t cause both Air France and British Airways to immediately ground and retire their entire Concorde fleet. Indeed the crash played a part, but it was mostly a combination of high operational costs, high maintenance and restriction of supersonic travel over land due to the sonic boom led to the eventual retirement of the Concorde. 9/11 didn’t help matters either. They still operated their Concordes for a few years after the crash happened.

Get the air-coopermug. Poo flavoured air is often referred to as a fart or stinky air, although it can come in forms of e-liquid by the name of 'shat flavoured air'.
