In the case of the Concorde, it appears that there was a long-held and over-ruling belief, in important aviation quarters (and not just AF)... that there was no serious tyre damage potential... and no attempt was ever made, to examine the all-too-obvious disaster potential... from tyres that had virtually no reserve strength in their design, from day one.
Reminded me of the shuttle disaster The leading edge was perforated by ice accumulation from the fuel tank,,,, everyone also thought it couldnt have the force necessary to break the LE material,,,but after the simulation tests, everyones jaw dropped!! Physics and peoples opinions DONT MIX . Human nature is NOT proactive by nature but rather it is reactive !
