Hi ChristiaanJ,
Really enjoyed reading the Concorde thread.
I've seen a TV "reconstruction" about the Paris crash which suggests a "spacer" was missing from one of the bogies which made steering in a straight line with an engine failure impossible. The skid marks show the aircraft drifted very close the runway edge, and it's implied that the aircraft was forced to rotate and get airborne rather than stop and collide with another aircraft at an intersection.
Do you have any more information whether this is fact or fantasy?
