Latest news: 113 people died, among them 100 from Germany going to NYC to board on a cruise ship. It seems that the pilot tried to avoid a crash on an urban area and made a turn on the left, then reversed the plane and fell vertically in a field. When taking off, Concorde already had an engine on fire, as reported by witnesses interviewed by French radios.
Among the victims, 4 people who where in a hotel near the crash.
