Air France Flight 4590: Tragic End to the Concorde and Supersonic Air Travel ✈️ #shorts

𝗔𝗶𝗿 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝟰𝟱𝟵𝟬 was an international charter flight from Paris to New York, operated by a Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde (Reg. F-BTSC) on 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟮𝟱, 𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟬.

At 14:42:17 the crew were cleared for takeoff. At 14:42:54.6, the co-pilot called 100 knots, then V1 nine seconds later. A few seconds after that, tyre no. 2 (right front) on the left main landing gear was destroyed after having run over a strip of metal lost by a Continental Airlines DC-10 (Reg. N13067) which departed Flight 055 to Newark 5 minutes before. The destruction of the tyre in all probability resulted in large pieces of rubber being thrown against the underside of the left wing and the rupture of a part of tank 5. A severe fire broke out under the left wing and around the same time engines 1 and 2 suffered a loss of thrust, severe for no. 2 and slight no. 1.

By 14:43:13, as the captain commenced the rotation, the controller informed the crew the presence of flames behind the plane. Nine seconds later the engine fire alarm sounded and the flight engineer announced "shut down engine 2" then the captain called for the "engine fire" procedure. A few seconds later, the engine 2 fire handle was pulled and the fire alarm stopped. At 14:43:30, the captain called for landing gear retraction. Three seconds later, the GPWS alarm sounded several times. Then the no. 1 engine lost power as well. The plane entered a left turn until control was lost, crashing into hotel 'Hotellisimo' and bursting into flames.
