That the Concorde in question was overweight and that the wind had shifted to a tailwind, extending their take off time - a prudent thought might have been to recalculate the take-off parameters. If they were not overweight and insisting of taking of in a tailwind perhaps they would have survived a loss of a tire or even an engine.

Your quote reminds me of a passenger I had once out of London being some 15 minutes late. Right after gear up, we heard a loud bang explosion like noise. It was dark and we didn't have a clue about what had happened.
We turned back to LHR, as always LHR ATC was great and found out we had hit a goose. Plenty of blood and feathers under my window.
Lufthansa engineering came for the inspection during which one pax started complaining about being delayed.............and probably scared too.
I explained that as cock up and fate had it, we had a goose on our conscience.
The answer was baffling, a bit like your quote
" Had you left on time...................you would never have hit that goose"
According to witnesses....................I did look like a Goldfish for a few seconds.
