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 Frances mug.Definition:
To be Franced is to be suddenly and spectacularly let down in a way that feels both avoidable and completely out of your control. It usually happens after someone confidently says “don’t worry, I’ve got it” — only for you to find out they absolutely didn’t.
Background:
The term “Franced” was born in chaotic workplaces and group projects, where someone’s lack of follow-through becomes your emergency. It captures that specific kind of betrayal that’s not evil — just incredibly frustrating, often involving vague promises, missing details, and last-minute disasters.
