Too many episodes of the X files perhaps???
Concorde has always had a few mionor glitches. Every airplane does. (Imagine the problems you'd have if there were only 5 747s in the world)
Before they never really got reported because it wasn't really a hot topic. Now it is.
I know you're not saying that BA intentionally did this, but I want to emphasise that this would be completely idiotic and highly counterproductive.</font>
Is this not an inverted logic ? If there is 1 Concorde and there are 1000 747's one would expect to have a higher no. of 'failures' on the 747s.
I guess the truth is that Concorde is under the magnifying glass just at the moent, but that said there seem to have been a very highly disproportionate no. of 'failures' on Concorde flights also.
