Well, it doesn't look like the French have plans to stop flying their Concorde any time soon. They just issued a press release today that stated they flew 1 million passengers and are looking forward to flying the next 1 million passengers.

My understanding from the TV show that Matt Wald references was that the plans that were "stolen" by the Russians were deliberately "doctored", which was a major factor in the failure. Did anyone else catch this?
