I remember seeng the last BA Concordes flying across London on their way to Heathrow, one by one on their final flghts. People stopped what they were doing and went outside to look. Magnificent machines, such a shame it ended this way. RIP to those who lost their lives
It would fly right over my house.
Fucking DC planes always had parts falling of and mechanical problems. Even killed people from other planes! 😡
That infamous photograph of Concorde in flames as it struggles to get off the ground is such a sad scene. It illustrated not only the end of the lives onboard that aircraft, but of the entire Concorde fleet. I was in complete shock when I saw that picture for the first time ever about a year ago. Rest in Paradise to all victims involved. Such a grim image.
Timestamp?
@@kylein9869 I think the thumbnail has the photo
Will you be resting in paradise, or being active and having adventures?
That wasn't the end of Concorde---They spent Millions lining the fuel tanks with Kevlar etc---The Twin Towers disaster spelled the end of Concorde
A hard one to watch and horror for the families of these souls on board. You never get over something like that.
When you look at those terrifying images as the plane takes off and desperately tries to climb and gain speed, you can’t help but think about the poor people onboard…
I can’t even imagine what they must have felt during the minute prior crashing… 😢
So poignant
It’s no wonder interest in air travel dropped, those photos are at least enough to dissuade people from small aircrafts, especially Concorde who charged almost 1K dollar tickets
@@Jpragerit dropped cause of covid and Air travel one of the safest ways to travel but everything prone to accidents
@@T-puma well back in the early 2000s this accident grounded the entire Concorde fleet worldwide for more than a year, then when it was set to be back in business 9/11 happened which further damaged the air travel industry forever, and with rising costs Concorde and luxury airlines like PanAm and Transworld airlines were done.
It’s really ashame my mom had great memories of flying and being able to walkabout and explore the galleys and bars of aircrafts back in the day. Which more than likely will never return to
The DC-10 not only killed itself with it's terrible safety record but it killed the Concorde as well.
It was the shoddy maintenance of the DC10 that was the cause. Not as a direct design flaw of the DC10. Thats a very distinct difference. It could have been shoddy maintenance from any carrier on any make of aircraft
@@Mark13091961 true
@@Mark13091961 Indeed ... perfectly said.
And it killed a lot of people as well.
Bullshit. It was Continental's fault, not the DC-10
Every pilot's dream just shattered during this takeoff. RIP to the lost souls.
The RF is thinking of resurrecting their SST's again.
Returning from Spain to JFK in 1972, in a 747, I watched in awe as a Concorde passed us by as if we were standing still. Living by JFK I saw and heard that loud aircraft so many times. My heart cries for the poor souls who died in this tragic accident. May they rest in peace, and may God bless the families and friends of those who died as well. Another very well done video, The Flight Channel.
Imagine being able to pilot a concorde. Legends
Only the most elite pilots were given the honor of flying the Great aircraft
True
I practise flying Concorde on my flight simulator X Plane 11. Magnificent aircraft to fly. Second only to the Wright Brothers maiden flight in the aviation hall of fame.
I expect it was no more complex than any regular jet. Just faster due to these powerful engines. Military pilots are used to that. The prestige is what made the difference. In this case, the disaster was the end of the line for this beautiful bird. They may bring it back in a near future. I expect Elon may be interested.
@@linanicolia1363 Much more complex actually.
These crashes are beyond tragic, but seeing them re-enacted in such a meticulous, informative, and respectful manner enhance my understanding of what happened, and increase my respect and appreciation for airline flight crews.
Ugh, the Concorde was so beautiful. I remember hearing them overhead living in NYC as a kid when they would head into JFK.
I remember them breaking the sound barrier as they headed out to sea over the Great South Bay, but seeing them come in was more satisfying because you got a good look, and they were so beautiful.
I remember it getting blamed for the Sonic booms and it turns out it was the sr71 blackbird flying out of long island that was the real culprit.
I wish I could see the great Concorde

@@chrisrohit2009 you can there's one on display on aircraft carrier in ny
Imagine being on that seeing all those flames and still taking off! What a nightmare.
I always wondered why landing runways aren’t longer
@@lulu8090 A combination of wanting airports close to cities and saving money on land acquisitions.
No one in the aircraft saw the flames. The pilot flying, on the other hand, had to witness his ship refusing to climb due to a dual engine failure, and eventually lose all control over it as the control surfaces on the left side melted in the intense heat.
@@lulu8090 Runways are designed for aborted take offs. However once you pass V1 and rotate you are 100% committed to take off.

Otherwise what happens ?
I am French, and I remember the pride of the country for this invention that was Concorde. The plane taking more than a hundred passengers, the fastest in the world. But it was the most expensive too. But from Paris to New York, it seems to me that it took less than 3hoo to go, instead of 8-9h00 ...
Most countries around the world wanted to know the secrets of this product, Concorde.
I was 12 when this drama happened. Within three years after this regrettable accident, the cause of this accident had indeed been discovered.
On the other hand, I did not quite understand the relationship between September 11 and Concorde ...
In any case, thank you for this reconstruction, almost 21 years later! You are very talented!
A huge thought for all these deceased people, as well as their families. 💐
Well it's not France only the main manufacturer was british aerospace
Assembled in France but made in Uk.
The DC-10, a plane so deadly, you don't have to be on it for it to kill you.
This is a Concorde?
Edit: Ok, just watched the entire video, ignore that.
yeah i know right

Those pictures and the video of the plane on fire are absolutely terrifying. RIP to the crew, passengers and to the 4 ground fatalities x
Wow! Only 4 in that whole hotel? Could have been so many more.
@@johnhaddad3401 close to 3pm local time. The fatalities were probably the house keepers cleaning rooms for the next guests that evening.

Terrifying and so sad. All those lives lost! Like the video said, the beginning of the end for such a magnificent machine.
Fantastic recreation with the live footage included. This was a sad end to an era of speed and class. RIP Concorde. RIP passengers. RIP crew.
WHO ELSE SHOULD R.I.P.???
The Concorde flight record was flawless. They stopped service because the cost to operate became to high.

@@theflightchannel Can we get a video about United airlines flight near Denver that had parts falling onto ppl's homes & in the roads? It happened about a week ago....it had to make an emergency land. Thanks in advance.
I remember that day. It was such a sad, sad day for the world's aviation. In the 80's, I used to live not far from Heathrow and was able to see this amazing flying machine, very often. It always was a great sight to behold. I was able to see this beautiful bird one last time, while visiting UK in April 2003. We were just in Windsor one day and a Concorde was flying overhead, getting ready to land. That was the very last time for me. Such a pity...
Imagine hearing the alarm telling you that you are too near the ground even though you cannot do anything about it.
Despite this tragedy, I really believed that Concorde would bounce back. My one and only flight, on that magnificent plane, was memorable.
Yes Elizabeth, a lot of people would think that as well, perhaps at that time the fuel cost was rising. What a magnificent aircraft in her day. She was a craft that with the now how of both the British and French was an achievement. She had flown for 30 years + w/o an incident.
Been waiting for this thrilling video for a long time, and wasn't disappointed. Very well structured and edited video.

Yes
With each crew member having so many hours of flying time, it's so sad to see how comfortable they must have felt taking off, only to learn how lives can be taken away at any moment due to random, unforeseen circumstances.
The image captured broke my heart. I remember when it was on the news. I’m sure everyone on that flight is up in heaven watching over and protecting their loved ones.
I was 8 years old when the Concorde crashed I was exactly in France on holiday at the time, very sad, The DC 10 was a plane with a troubled history, this just shows, I also the remember the day the Concorde landing in my hometown of Cardiff on that day in 2003.

I remember photographing Concorde on its first (afaik) visit to Cardiff in November 1986 - how time flies when you're getting older :(

When I was 8, I was in Paris and I’ve seen the crash of the Concorde. We were in a place where we could see the crash from the first flames of the engine to the hit on the ground and the explosion. I’ll never forget that
taken from 9GAG - is that you?
What an elegant work of engineering she was! I was fascinated by Concorde as a kid, and still am!
Even though i have exams going on, i always finds time for these nice and quality video. Hard to ignore these videos
This was truly sad. Even though it was an external factor, it still ruined the reputation of supersonic travel even more than it already was. All because of a DC-10 that took off before it.
Great job with this video, too. I enjoy watching these
This was the tragedy that the authorities were "looking for" to finish off the Concorde. It had been tried for years prior, and this was the nail in the coffin.
This crash was because of the Dc-10 metal strip on 26R runway
Yes but as prestigious as Concord was it was also a money losing venture. 12 crew members for 100 pax (max) and very fuel inefficient engines.
you cant blame the plane or pilots,this can happen anytime in any aircraft....
I remember this day with horror - thank you for a sensitive, artful and accurate reconstruction.
I will always remember when the plane I was on (flying to Dublin from LHR in 1989) taxied directly behind it. The noise and vibration we felt was incredible. I had hoped to fly on it myself one day. So sad about its demise.
RIP to the poor souls on board who were on a trip of a lifetime.
There were also recommendations implemented in the removal of runway debris. It’s actually pretty common for small unnecessary parts of aircraft to fall on runways. Unfortunately, a wear strip dropping five minutes before the Concorde caused a lethal crash.
That's concerning and terrifying!
Man i still remember the day and the year when this was relayed on TV. It took me a while to absorb this. How could the Concorde fail?? Thats what i kept asking myself... RIP french bird.
I remember seeing this on the news. What a tragic end to an aircraft, which was so far ahead of it's time. Rest in peace to the passengers and crew.
Great video, your attention to detail is unmatched. Definitely one of my favorite channels on UA-cam - keep up the great work!
Absolutely Jason, what a marvel in her time. AF was aware of faults, in reference to tyre bursts, and the possibility o of the fuel tanks to rupture. The question is as many have perhaps asked why did they not abort takeoff, since they were taking off on the longest runway. She was such a beautiful aircraft, way beyond anyone expectation. She had flown for 30+ years w/o any incident. Why did they not due a fod, of the airport prior to her departing. I cannot imagine what the crew/passengers were experiencing. I'm sure that the temperatures were off the charts. RIP all on this flight.
So sad, it gives me goosebumps when thinking about how everyone at that moment would have felt being inside the Concord, so sad and terrible that incident was
So sad to think all those passengers thinking they are flying to go on an extended cruise vacation only to be met with their fate. RIP
That is life. We usually never know when our time is ending. It is likely a good thing. No one would want to go anywhere or do anything. You got to take chances and enjoy life. We all die, anyway.
That's true of any transportation disaster though. Nobody thought that the Titanic was going to sink, for example. Likewise all those poor souls who boarded MH370 in 2014. Life is full of risks, but if we try to avoid them all, then what sort of life would we have?
It would have been magnificent to fly this thing, I think I’m a bit too late now, might pick one up cheap...
As awful as this was, put your headphones on, the video creator has done a great job and it sounds awesome hearing these things spool up and hit the afterburners.
Terrifying. May They Rest In Peace.
The amount of dedication and research you do to make these videos is staggering
You do realize that the only source he used is wikipedia. it tells you everything you need to know.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_4590
Some things are even word for word copied over.
However dedication I will not deny, as putting together these animations is no easy feat.
@@chesterwang3070 Not everything is on Wikipedia. There are websites that are dedicated to these flights. And it's the effort that he puts into the videos that people are commenting on.
@@YankeeGirl226 Yes I know. But my point is he literally word for word copied from wikipedia to this video. That's all I'm saying. And I didn't deny that he is very dedicated and puts his heart into what he does.
Man that’s so sad. I actually have wondered about these planes recently. I learned a ton from this video, thank you.
Such a shame that this type of plane is no longer flying. It’s such a majestic plane.
It was getting less practical every year anyway. Other airlines were offering first class seats at similar prices.
@@scottlarson1548 it was like 9 thousand dollars for a ticket
@@kvngslatt_ Compare the fantastic first class seats (more accurately partitions) you can get for that much money or less and you'll see why almost all travelers had no interest in traveling on the Concorde.
@@scottlarson1548 once in a lifetime trip for most people, amazing aircraft the likes we have not seen since. If you couldn’t afford it , tough, but plenty could. Don’t be jealous and show it!
@@chrisburnby62 My company sent me to Europe first class on a 787. Now *that* is something to be jealous about. Don't blame the DC-10. It was modern aircraft that put the Concorde out of business. When someone has that much to spend on a ticket, very few would chose to sit in business class when they could sit in luxury class on a modern airliner.
So tragic. I used to live in the flight path of Dulles Airport and when the Concorde flew over, the house would shake, I'd always look out the window and admire it.
I remember flying a week after this crash. Always a bit of concern when the news all week is about a another plane crash. A great aircraft, never had the pleasure to fly the Concorde.
Statistically, you are 100% safe if flying immediately after a big fatal crash... Since they happen far between.
Wow....I was waiting for this since 5 years!Finally you made the video!Thank you for all the efforts you put onto these videos!
Not only did the DC-10 destroy it's own reputation but also concordes, one of the most beautiful aircraft. What a coincidence
I shed a tear at this beautiful bird every once in a while when I see one. The pilots did the best they could, but it was too late. May their souls rest in peace
Airport hotel
The last words of pilots is usually " shit" or in this case " merde".......but it is quick, for all on board. That trauma takes care of any potential suffering.
Truly unique aircraft and so tragic. I was able to go inside a British Airways Concorde that is located in the Seattle aircraft museum. I was really shocked to see how small and narrow the interior was including the cockpit!
In 1982, Captain Marty was the first to successfully cross the Atlantic in windsurfing. F.O Jean Marcot refused to became Captain on Boeing 747 to stay flying in Concorde. May they all rest in peace. This video make my eyes tearing. 😭😭😭
He windsurfed the Atlantic Ocean? That is ballsy.
@@seanpellegrino2989 yeah for sure
You mean the Channel? Not quite the same thing.
Who would have thought that such a small piece of metal could lead to one of the worst accidents in commercial aviation ever. RIP all precious souls.
Every untimely death is a tragic occurrence, but the runway collision in Tenerife when two 747s collided led to 547 fatalities, far and away the greatest death toll in any aviation accident. The 9/11/2001 attacks using hijacked planes caused almost 3000 fatalities in 3 locations (most fatalities were on the ground), but this was sabotage, not an accident.
An even more unexpected upload, especially with Concorde in it. Regardless of aircraft types or any other occasion there’s always a surprise! Hands up to this guy! 🙌🏼😌
Thanks for the great work!!
This is gonna be one of the most viewed video in 2 years or so.
I still wonder what those passengers on the DC-10 thought, hearing about the crash.
Probably "damn that sucks bro"
I wonder what the mechanic that put that part on the DC-10 sub-standard to manufacturer recommendations thought.
I'm pretty sure they didn't know their plane caused the crash under the investigation determined it did.
McDonnel Douglas doesn’t manufacture engines. Nobody ever talks about how the plane was overweight, overfilled with fuel, and Air France decided not to install the kevlar lined tanks that were recommended. Lots of scapegoating and misinformation here
@@kingssuck06 Kevlar lined tanks were an afterthought . A tonne of fuel extra means nothing to a 4 engine aircraft, they could burn that off on a long taxi if it was necessary. McDD probably did the bad repair themselves as it’s not a job that would require the attention of the manufacturers.
Amazing job on this one, i love watching these videos since you do such a good job showing what happened and then you get all the information on how it happened.
I've worked in travel for years and my biggest regret was never taking a flight on Concorde. We used to receive 'seat sales' on undersold legs and would often see prices as low as £99 (around $120 at the time) for flying one way between London/Paris and New York or v.v. Stupidly I always thought there would be another opportunity.
Because so many people caught footage of this crash, it's ingrained on me. Rest in peace to everyone who perished.
Our daughter was in Paris that day with a friend. They had just graduated from High School and took a day trip from the UK via the Chunnel. I believe she said they could see the smoke from the crash fire. Sad day.
She you could see the smoke from the tunnel ?
What a beautiful and majestic aeroplane, one dream I will never experience......may all the lives lost RIP
The Concorde is one of man's greatest achievements.
If the 747 is the queen of the skies, surely the Concorde is the king.
RIP
Nope
A380 is the King. Concorde was a Ballerina. Beautiful but expensive.
@@moestrei agreed
@@moestrei Nope. A380 is not the King. It was developed far after the the 747 yet its life span was laughably short.
With DECADES of advancements, Airbus still couldn't beat the 747.
Compare numbers of airplanes built. Compare passenger-hours flown. You don't even need to be a Boeing fan boy like me to appreciate the 747 being superior in nearly every way.
The production run of the 380 is over; it was woefully short. The 747 will be going strong while carriers with 380s try to sell their airframes for parts. (Look it up; it's getting hard to sell extra 380s for parts, because no one wants them. They'll be selling them for SCRAP pretty soon!)
Have a nice flight; likely NOT on a 380👌😉
@@endokrin7897 a380 are trash. Most are being retired already 🤣
SO Sad. First, I had no idea that the Concorde had been in service that long. I didn't have much recollection about this disaster. It is sad that another aircraft was the demise of the Concorde. I had always heard that it was a fuel hog and that is why it was taken out of service. The most beautiful passenger jet ever built to date. Sad to see her grounded.

There’s another theory on this accident written by Concorde pilot John Hutchinson, for any aviation enthusiasts it’s interesting and worth reading through. Great video 👍🏻
His is the one about the plane not rotating in time due to excess weight? If his is the one I am thinking of it is a very compelling theory.
@@seanpellegrino2989 you’re correct, the additional weight with 19 extra unchecked luggage bags plus filling the fuel tanks to the brim, rather than the standard 80% full.
There’s a few other factors too, it also states it narrowly missed a fully loaded 747 which had the French president in at the time.......
I was looking forward for you to make this video.
I can't believe you did it
I flew concord London to New York about 18 years ago. I still remember the super Sonic boom and being able to see the curve of Earth!
@sazzlepop It's Concorde, not "concord"... dunno how you managed hearing the sonic boom while flying on her, as it could only be heard from outside the aircraft... riddle me that
@@guillaumeromain6694 and far behind as well! Someone farted I suppose.!
I remember seeing footage on TV back when this happened. Even though it was no fault of the Concorde nor any of its crew, it is impossible to get that image out of your head seeing fire shooting out the back of an aircraft at takeoff. Until now, I never knew the cause of that fire. I do recall that it was pretty much a death knell for the Concorde. That airplane was obviously packed full of some well-to-do people, considering the cost of flying on the Concorde and the fact they were all headed for a 16-day cruise across the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately their lives all ended quite tragically. Great job on the production!
Still the most magnificent looking plane i've ever seen, rest in peace for people who lost their lives and also for the aircraft entirely..
Brilliant as always! Whoever you are, thank you! I always look forward to your videos, RIP for the people who have lost their lives in all your videos!

What an awful crash, the images of the beautiful plane doomed as it became airborne are both very dramatic, and horrific.
An impossible situation for the crew. RIP all on board, and those in the hotel who also perished.

Rewatching this video, something obvious just occurred to me. Had the flight not been delayed for maintenance reasons, they would have taken off on their scheduled time and the accident never would have happened.
The Concorde had a long history of tyres bursting during take-off. But none of the previous occasions had caused a catastrophic incident, so no remedial action was taken.
I saw one of these amazing machines land when the PGA tour came to my hometown in 1998. It's sad that these beautiful beasts are discontinued
Your incredible videos always have me on the edge of my seat.....waiting for the time when I fall off!
Now that, was a powerful opening. Well done, TFC
Mann.... Rest In Peace to all those who lost their lives, and hats off to the pilots. I also remember a documentary that was there about this.. But boy it felt good to see the Concord Lift off. If only this one ended with an "Everyone Survived".. Then, it would be my favorite Flight Channel vid.
I've been saddened and misty eyed through several of your videos. Until today, I've never sat crying like I still am now. First saw Concorde when she made a special stop in Nashville 1988. I worked near the airport and nearly lost my job because I stayed outside watching this plane for as long as I could. I went to the airport after watching it fly over our building and got many shots with the little disposable camera I bought for the occasion.
This plane is the stuff of dreams.
My heart hurts for the 109 people lost in this crash. 😥
A couple that saved for 20 years for a cruise and their kids on board. They were minutes into their dream vacation and dead immediately. How scared they must have been!
-Majority definitely panic, hysteria, while others face the issue with confidence. Inward knowledge they will indeed find peace... not of this world. Record setting downloads as evidence, entire world, today's humanity prophesied in historic collective peril.

We serve a great God, don't we?
@@sciencefriction315 Yes we do ..M.A.G.A
I read that if they hadn’t been overweight on takeoff then they would have rotated before they would have hit the debris and there wouldn’t have been an accident.
Yes that's right. And some professional firefighters of CDG airport also reported that they saw fumes from the tires way before the DC-10, which means that there was already a fatigue for the wheel
Indeed, they lost many opportunities to prevent this accident, but due to human error and multiple mistakes like your father not shutting down his engine or your mother not aborting, they sealed their fate and here you are.
OMG!After 2 years of requesting,we finally got it!Easily my one of my favourite videos of you!Loving it!❤️
One time on my way to Heathrow airport in London, I saw the Concord on its way to landing, it was an unforgettable and beautiful sight. Such a tragic end to a beautiful plane.
I guess the chances of duplicating a crash like this one are less than one out of a million. That was really, bad, bad luck.
I dont want to be "that guy" but I was in my final year at university when this was being investigated and with BEA had access to all the data. This channel is simply amazing, but at the end of the flight for 4590, the nose rose sharply and it crashed into the hotel tail first. I've seen dozens of reenactments of this but never one that got it spot on yet...
You might be right, as usually a plane with this shape goes into a flat spin or tail first dive when stalling, but most likely, as the control surfaces and a large area of the lift producing surface on the left side disintegrated in the fire, at the moment of impact the plane had the aerodynamics of a piano.
@@bogdan_n No. Delta wings doesn't stall. It crashed because lack of power not because of lack of lift.
Anyone killed in the hotel? Or on the ground?
I remember suggesting this topic for your million-subscriber special, really well done as always!
"No One Survived" that line hit me everytime.. thnx for the good content TFC, keep it up🤝
It's a line no one wants to hear I would rather hear " everyone survived"
@@avitechandgaming8028 agree..
Concorde was finished long before this accident, this one was just the proverbial nail in the coffin. ⚰
Extremely expensive for the companies. Pilots got paid a million dollar per year, passenger paid about 10k, crew members also making about 200k a year and a special very expensive fuel, taxes, tarmac fees etc plus maintenance etc made it very hard to keep it up. It is like having a Rolls-Royce as uber for short trips.
Yeah it was already pretty expensive and not very profitable for BA and Air France to fly them.
Probably and I feel Elon Musk may be interested in an improved version of it. We have so many billionaires right now, who would love such a luxury. The rest of us would still fly other airplanes, providing Biden does not prohibit people from flying, if they refuse these fake vaccines. I can see that one coming.......Slavery is around the corner as our Constitution is getting seriously eroded. When people like Bill Gates command the CDC and their acolytes, we have a problem, generated by money and who runs everything, using it. Freedom is for sale. That is my view of our current situation. Tragic .

That was very respectfully done. Every catastrophe that occurs in flight is horrendous but this one has such a pointlessness to it as it was a single piece of metal that brought Concorde down and there was zero hope for anyone aboard. A single piece of metal you could probably hold in one hand. That combined with the photos fills you with hopelessness. Extremely tragic loss of life.
When I heard about the United 777 incident in Colorado, the first thing I thought of was the metal strip falling off the DC-10 in this incident
Why?
Pilots tried everything... So sad they weren’t able to save the flight. May their souls rest in peace... 🙏🏻
I knew you'll do it !
I'm a very thankful french viewer, great work
Yet another beautifully done video by The Flight Channel. You put a lot of hard work into your video--and it shows. Keep up the good work!

He uploads every Thursday you know that right?
The DC-10 has always been falling apart.
Another fantastic video!! you are the very best at this. Now I'm late for work but everyone at my job knows that you come first!
I saw Concorde fly over my grandma's house when I was a kid in the 70s. It was a sight to behold.
Such a shame!She has beautiful lines the Spitfire of the SST s!
Wow...what an amazing channel I never miss a video!
I was wondering yesterday when you would upload this flight. Sad day. Thank you.
The Concorde was pure beauty and magnificence. It is truly such a shame that it flies no more. Flight 4590 had a horrific and heartbreaking ending before the journey had even begun. I'm certain those pilots tried everything possible to save that plane and the lives of everyone entrusted into their care that day. May those who lost their lives that day not be forgotten.
