and the 1st concorde prototype was launched in tucson the 2nd of march $969.00 with andre to come up the controls. of the ship got a little fawns on board and get no problem for us he said certainly for the electronics so i decided to shorten the flight of it throughout the abolition of all this.

after 27 minutes andre to come sounded super bad to see rose 01 basted sweat. for posey when we were back in front of the hangar the press television journalists our bosses place and our wives waiting as if you gave up on the city that was a load off my mind at all on those of all 3 the 6 that. concorde sparked intense interest all over the world and the customer list got longer and longer with more than 70 purchase options china and lines one to 3 concords further options were placed by 2 ft comes up and india japan airlines and many more on. the concorde custom and lines will represent. by senior captains and

do it. options taken on concorde by the world's major airlines represent a potential sales value of hundreds of millions of pounds. to further increase the 1000000 dollar rewards the next prototype was sent out into the world the message of the undertones into was this is what the most popular at craft in the yet 2000 will look like. concorde was welcomed everywhere with a v.o.i.p. reception everyone wanted to experience mac 2 for themselves but despite their enthusiasm they turned out to reject concord in the united states a powerful valby stood up against concorde the american aircraft industry had abandoned its supersonic project and now wanted to prevent the british french

coalition from conquering the world market. suddenly concorde was no longer a beautiful one double but a noisy environmental sin. actually i was in government at the time and there was a lot of complaints from environmental groups about. no it's. a vote of it's a strange position because so many military airplanes. flying filberts i've almost every military airplane. $973.00 a fateful year for concorde international infusion as i'm wayne in view of rapidly rising oil prices nowhere in line wanted to burden itself with a gas guzzler. i think we had something like 77 options. from all the major airlines in the worlds and step by step

they all disappeared until eventually we were left with after us british airways and pan american and then finally pan american went and that was a pretty big blow. only the state owned lines in france and great britain who took concorde in the end. from an economic point of view concorde it was a devastating flaw in the near it never came close to being a market and making money. on the other hand it was an extremely similar it became the cornerstone of a successful european airline industry what it. did while compote has a mystical status in people's minds don't you many were actually disappointed when

they 1st saw the credit it was inside. view carrying us that involved. disappointment among passengers was out of the question on the morning of the 25th of july 2000. many germans wanted to fly to new york at supersonic speed for the 1st time that was point 2 chords were taking off. than a marker into telamon an entrepreneurial couple from germany books the late flight to the afternoon. along with does not die foose and her husband. p. filmed the journey on his new camera. the tillmans took the fly clay booked but swapped his ticket. he and his wife took the earlier flight so they could travel with their friend. today was

a special day for him 10 30 am there comes the committee madam. the free passengers made it onto the concorde free to dream at finally come true. there is a rocket launch. the shuttle flights to new york began at about 11 15 am. off the billers book the plane to twice the speed of sound just as it had raced across the atlantic for almost 25 years. a 2nd concorde with passengers from germany was scheduled to take off in the afternoon. while the 1st concorde had already crossed the atlantic and was about to land in new york traffic controller. was starting work in paris it should actually have been someone

else that day. and. a colleague had asked me to cover his afternoon shift for him. i was working in the tower of charles de gaulle airport in paris and i was responsible for handling the runways in the south of the airport. to get a cruiser the german flight attendant from the concorde crew was brought back from her holiday specially for the 2nd flight just like the controller in the tower she actually had a plan for that day. you can expect the highest quality on this plane the customers pay for it and have every right to be demanding it takes. freetown di foose filmed the numbering at j.f.k.

the german passenger on his wife actually booked on the plane to new york she has brought us here safely. concorde had just landed and we all got out and then he filmed the last shot from the card up above and literally said she brought us here safely. past he had never said that after our flight before the plane was special to him but there was really something sinister about it that she brought us here safely not the other one fee. we get to cruise it was opening the 1st bottle on the 2nd concorde departure from paris. the german front attendant already had over 2000 flying hours on. the passengers boarded but about 4 pm 20 minutes later the captain confirmed that the concorde was ready. for takeoff. the concorde is a wonderful aircraft and we add traffic controllers and always watched ensuring

takeoff and that day was no exception and for the basics of shong. fully loaded with passengers and fuel the concorde touch it with a long way. apart like a ship very likely. at 4 42 pm air france 4590 took off as the flight recorder logs later revealed is everyone ready. top all for after finals on. grew up over suddenly we saw flames at the back of the plane by. m i'm told my colleague and i immediately hit the red alarm button. at the same time i want the pilot on the radio that flames were coming out of the back of the plane. concorde 4590 you on fire. understood down on 2nd

engine forgotten about the trip my heart was pounding and my adrenaline was pumping i had to keep working as best i could. i understood if you're up no. do what you think is best you have priority for your return. as the situation is extremely difficult for us and traffic controllers because we had to take care of the burning concorde and at the same time direct the other aircraft tours of your landing gear no understood i'm trying. i'm on it switched off the 2nd engine. i switched it off speed speed. the landing gear when retract speed speed. too late no time. conceived in the morning i almost saw the explosion there was dense smoke like

a mushroom but i couldn't stop working i had to keep in contact with the other planes in the air and i had to continue my work. when i saw that i knew the worst had happened to complete. my radio 4590 you're receiving me now once i got balls. off the front of the other hundreds of rescue teams rushed in which nobody on the concorde could have saved. 100 passengers and 9 crew members died in the crash. 4 people in a hotel building also donated a few meters decided on life or death. in the building next door the would be intruders. legit i will be all for that as well i

had the windows open in the office and i had a hell of a noise a bunny concorde was coming straight out i was on the phone and screamed the concords landing on me so i threw down the receiver and ran with it and we got to the do it 3 meters away then there was a huge explosion. up in the lead up out of the author yokohama told us he's pro-choice. shortly before takeoff flight attendant broke into a cruiser had called her parents as she always did before the concorde front the next cool did not come from. the fans and i turned on the television and saw the pictures of the concorde in flames then the crash and right away the telephone rang on. someone from the congo team asked me are you have cruise it on for

a concorde since year cruisin yes is your daughter flying on concorde today as i said i will call you again in a quarter of an hour replied well the phone rang again i picked it up and he said to me that i have some bad news story there are no survivors. as skip tiny would have been. 13 of the dead came from the german city of mention club. almost half of all the concorde victims were from the same region including several couples who had wanted to take a cruise from new york. just like moderator and vanna tellme. as my father thought it was my father who wanted to fly concorde because he was amazed

by its technology. stop the thought it wouldn't have been important for my mother but there would be no question of her not flying with her husband but i can just consume the city and this museum and the treatment. of the tomans died on their flight the die 1st couple and their friend erica continued their journey on the cruise ship with mixed feelings they needed time to recover and process the shock. they had only a skank with their knives because their friend erica and able to get a seat on the ill fated concorde for this reason they had swapped seats with another couple and have taken the plane. there rebooking confirmation was like a 2nd birth certificate for them. a few hours after the crash the investigation into the causes b. cam.

pilot shot unarmed agreed to listen to the tapes of the black boxes often as necessary. the last 2 hours of operation before the disaster when fully preserved on the flight recorder. talks about this experience for the 1st time in an interview. first of all i would like to say that this is really the 1st time i've allowed myself to talk about it in public because i was involved in the investigation i knew the crew very well. i needed time before i could talk about it in public you know. it's hard to listen to people who are about to die. or not.

what he could do know was well listen to it again and again to understand everything exactly only the technical facts are important but of course you also hear human overturn have nothing to do with the process is it that hits you hard like a slap in the face they are always what was. the official investigation report was not published for another 18 months but the calls had long been established by the investigating officer it is a 20 centimeters long piece of metal that fallen off a u.s. aircraft on the runway. it was part of the engine of a continental airlines d.c. 10 and snatched the time of the departing concorde. you know

in a ridiculously small piece of titanic weighing all 200 grams set off a chain reaction as so often happens in plane crashes. in cigars they didn't know in an almost diabolical way the system of safety nets failed. one by one nuff bodies in it is what. it was not the 1st time that the concords toy is a bust but this time a piece of toilet hit the tank and set off the deadly train reaction. after the accident better tires were purchased on the tax we enforced. air france and british airways paid more than $200000000000.00 euros for the safety package but in the end it was of no use 3 years after the accident concorde was taken out of service.

in may 2003 the sky over parents became the stage for beating family well. a letter . people came through found a field to experience concords last flight and even listen to the tower radio. signal also such a mix of people from all walks of life i have already flown concorde there is something magical about her being there it is. easy. in song called

was no longer politically correct the tickets were expensive the plane needed a lot of feel. speed has its price he calls them in there was the lawyers and everything else clear down there he. knew none of the 5 remaining french concords was scrapped all of them were preserved for posterity. we shorten our flew one of them out of the country discount court broke the sound barrier one last time by taking a detour across the atlantic its destination was cars were bargain bargain at ports . in view of the many german victims in france decided to donate this concorde to the since high museum of technology in the height of back. there in austin texas and. it would appear on. the us budget by. several that

flight from paris to baton empire calls my last trip in france after that. my life changed. doggystyle that for the 1st time in aviation history we took a conscious backward step we abandoned supersonic flight from then on only subsonic passenger aircraft were built in the context of aviation history when it was a backward step upon our yeah. the cockpit was cramped and uncomfortable like a racing car and be about 30 pilots were nonsense to flying the concorde at any one time. thanks to. the french

people saw the concorde as a project that was so ambitious it could outclass all its competitors it represented a daring and entrepreneurial nation if. they like he was also appalled. max who knew one boss time fully booked one last time with something gets to phone up. among them was the wife of the captain of the concorde to the croxton pounds. 8. 100 shipmates a german aviation expert was also invited by and france for the nonstop flights to bob and up. when we got out of the plane it was like we had arrived with the

beatles and all they started it was like in the historical record people are cheering you they were staring at us they were clapping lach. the concorde was dismantled at bottom and park for the journey down the rhine then the trip continued on the closed want to bomb it tonight $1000000.00 spectators looked on in order as the concorde make its last journey since high museum of technology an amazing spectacle a farewell to the kind of naturally that only came with concorde.

for me luxury is 1st and foremost it's time and how you spend it. because it gave you time. in the future something similar might turn out if we were able to go into the stratosphere with little air resistance and say you could do it with a reasonable amount of fuel that it's the dream of many and if a few people really believe in their dream then it could come true. that nasa plays an important role in this dream and in the future of supersonics. 70 years after breaking the sound barrier with the bell x. one the u.s. space agency is working on a new test program it wants to investigate how supersonic aircraft can be made and vital mentally sustainable. one question is how the super sonic boom could be eliminated with a new design resulting in

a different afflalo. we heard a loud biased stop at about 2.5. doesn't get the space 3 i didn't hear it. in a new experimental aircraft the x. $59.00 has been built for nasa it's sonic boom should only be as loud as a car door slamming this would enable an aircraft to fly over land that supersonic speeds which was not possible for concorde. and.

it has guns clark doesn't there isn't anything initiatives for new supersonic aircraft on a smaller scale so that means the business jets or about 50 seater commercial aircraft but they all come from america and they're all private companies i was unprepared film. a good decade after the end of concorde to new projects are being launched the company boomed supersonic was working towards a supersonic passenger aircraft with 50 seats the pilots for the test model are already training in a simulator. the other company erion wants to launch its business jet in 2026 both companies have announced that they will fly on biofuel. what the cause of heart of a question is still is there a market for much of this is always been the crucial questions and was until now

know the answer has always been up to now and still is you know. it. was also a preview man this summer did it every great human undertaking needs a good reason what would be the good reason for a new supersonic aircraft is good enough to be able to justify the environmental impact just across the atlantic and 3 hours instead of 8 it doesn't make sense to me anyway on. people could solve i don't have book good morning to you fly from germany to australia with baseline a supersonic flight on the 90 minute. engineers at the german aerospace center d.n.r. imagine if like that takes them around the world in 90 minutes in the most environmentally friendly way possible. with. the space line it would be head of our time just like concorde once was.

up to 50 passengers sit in the shuttle and take off on a rocket heading for space the rocket is powered by a mixture of an oxygen after a short fry time the passenger plane decouples and collides back to africa several times the speed of sound. europe to australia in 1000 minutes science fiction all look into the year 2050. when the 1st drafts for concorde were created nobody would have believed that 14 years later it would take passengers across the. now take. concorde captivated old and young and inspired a whole generation. you could spend your whole life imagining what it would be not

to fight with just want. to read like no other. for years romana me i was actually abused by has found. his is not an isolated case that only a few of the victims have the courage to speak about incest. the frenchman has decided to break through the wall of silence on the world. 30 minutes on d w. in the army of climate change. is

reminiscent. of. the times to the future. one of the yesterday head of the future. of the dot com african american citizens for the multimedia. clip culture. can you hear me now yes yes we can hear you and how last year's german starts now when we bring you i'm going to match caught as you've never had to have a full surprise yourself with what is possible who is medical really what moves and what of somebody who talks to people who follow along the way admirers and critics alike our. as the world's most powerful woman shaking hands they can join us from eccles last stop.

this is deja news live from perth in a youth leaders divided on how to speed up a sluggish vaccination rollout the french president backed export controls at a virtual summit he wants to keep vaccines produced in the a use for its citizens but i just want to get so-called vaccine nationalist also coming up the experts say it could take weeks to refloat a huge cargo ship the dry.
