if the runway had been swept correctly then nothing could have caused tire burst and fuel tank rupture...pure and simple.
the runway was not cleaned correctly and Concorde will next take to skies with better tires and better fuel tanks...an altogether better aircraft.
I would not wish that anyone had died that a safer aircraft would be flying again - I just hope those in Paris who should have done their jobs cleaning runway have really examined consciences and resolved to do better next time...
Sorry - a simple reaction but from the heart OK?
