You guys at the beginning don't know your Concordes very well. That airplane was one of several concordes that were certified to takeoff with 2 engines. Maybe not on one side. Whatever went through the wing and caused the fire caused the crash. I am sure that if the pilots could have seen the future they would have stayed on the ground and bought the parking lot versus becoming a lawn dart later, but hind site is 20/20.
