I am reactivating an old Concorde thread because today is the 20th anniversary of the tragedy of crash of Concorde AF4590 flight in Gonesse, between CDG and LBG.
I remember very well this day when my assistant came in my office to tell me that the Concorde crashed and I could not believe it, I was in complete shock. My office is very close to CDG and some colleagues saw it in flame before it crashed. Leaving the office, I saw from my car the smoke column from the crash site. RIP to the people who lost their life this day.
I had the chance to go often at CDG to see it landing from JFK and it was such a beauty and I am among the happy few who flew it.
Concorde, you are still the best and most beautiful plane ever built
