Skins24 Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 On a similar note. I guess we have the Frence to blame for the concorde http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A30248-2003Feb19.html Concorde Makes Emergency Landing in Canada HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (Reuters) - An Air France Concorde carrying 56 people to New York from Paris landed safely in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Wednesday after one of the supersonic aircraft's engines malfunctioned, the French national airline and the Canadian Coast Guard said. "The plane landed safely in Halifax.... There has been no request for assistance," said Coast Guard spokesman Harvey Vardy at the Rescue Co-ordination Center in Halifax. Air France said in a statement from Paris that Flight AF002 had 47 passengers and nine crew on board. It said that "all passengers were being rerouted to their final destinations with the least possible delay." A company spokesman declined to give further details. Vardy said the Concorde was en route to New York's John F. Kennedy airport Wednesday morning when it first reported a malfunction in one of its four engines. The No. 3 engine was shut down at the time. The Concorde later declared an emergency and asked to be diverted to Halifax on Canada's east coast. Air France and British Airways both grounded the supersonic jets after an Air France Concorde crashed on take-off from Paris in July 2000, killing 113 people. An investigation concluded a burst tire had ruptured a fuel tank. Both companies, the only ones to operate the airliner, resumed Concorde flights in November 2001 after modifications to avoid a repetition of the accident. All 109 people, most of them German tourists, aboard flight AF4590 to New York died when it crashed in a fireball on July 25, 2000. The crash also killed four people in an airport hotel.

Storm Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 You don't suppose they're trying the ol' "Stuff a plane with cadavers, crash it, and blame the US" trick again??? Again? When was the first time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddha Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 That was a sarcastic reference to the incident in the 80s when a US navy vessel accidently shot down a packed Iranian airliner. If I remember correctly, some media sources referring to film footage of bodies floating on the water right after the crash claimed that they were actually long-dead cadavers. The point was to try to cook up an Iranian plot to force the US military out of the region using a concocted tragedy. I don't believe it was ever taken seriously by anyone though.
