This plane could cross the Atlantic in 3.5 hours. Why did it fail?

dRoOP snOOT. ThE snOOt wOuLD dRoOp

"it soared so high you could see the Earth's curve"
petition to put a bunch of flat earthers on this flight then crash those who still remain flat earthers

Has it not taken the titanic 106 years and counting to cross the Atlantic? 🤔

American Airlines has left the chat

"Because of angled landing the Concord featured a droop snoot."
"A droop snoot?"
"Yeah, the snoot would droop."
"The snoot drooped."
You see, this is truly the real reason as to why this needs to be brought back.

Short Summary of the video:
1. Cost of the plane
2. Noise when the plane is flying at supersonic speed

“It flew so high you could see the earth’s curve” well no wander flat earthers exist! They took this plane away 😂

This is literally one of the best mini-documentaries, ever!

3:49 the guy said droop snoop but the other guy said snoop droop idk
found it funnny lol

This beautiful creature which you could hear coming from miles away would fly over my house in London every day at the same time and every one around would stop and look up and watch her roar past, not only did you see her you also felt her and this always made me smile.

Concord was the first plane I flew on my parents were diplomats for the U.K. at the time so I was lucky enough to travel on one even though I don’t remember it

4:32 It Flied so high you could see the Earth's CURVE .Am looking at you Flat Earthers.

I'd rather be uncomfortable for three and a half hours, than slightly less uncomfortable for seven hours...

1:12 that’s a toy Concorde I have it!😀👍

At 0:40,
Vox: which one are you looking at?
Me: I am looking at United Airlines and their failures and totally not Concorde buttering the bread on the landing

I’ve seen the Concorde at the imperial war museum.

The Crash was not due to Concorde Tyres was it? Absolute tripe. If you're hurtling down the runway at 250mph and you run over a shard of metal 17 inches long off the intake of a Douglas DC-10 that took off a minute before your tyre is going to burst. There had been blowouts on Concorde before but more than any other aircraft at the time. Because the Concorde had a fast take-off speed a blowout was more likely to cause damage to the air frame. Air-France did not correctly Fuel the Aircraft. They over-filled the fuel tanks and exceeded the MTOW of the plane. As an aeronautical engineer I find this surprising because this is a number fundamental to the design and certification of any aircraft. So essentially Air France was responsible as well as the Operator of the DC-10. You could argue the DC-10 was a flawed design. It had many crashes where parts would fall off it. The Manufacturing Quality of the DC-10 was abysmal. The DC-10 was only 5 years older than Concorde. It has so far been in 55 Accidents, 32 of which were complete losses and has killed 1261 people. Thank god it is not in operational Service. They should have Grounded the DC-10 as well when Concorde crashed. Bits falling off it constantly.
In Conclusion, Vox are terrible Journalists.

I do wish someone would try this again.

You failed to note that the debris left on the runway by a Continental Airways DC-10 that had an inappropriate repair done was the immediate cause of the accident. It was not exclusively a tire design fault on the Concorde.
I also doubt that the presence of a Flight Engineer was much of a factor in the retirement; given the fares charged their salary would be trivial.
