but AAIB doesn't seem to share the extend of your concern about that
Well the report is full of AAIB negative comments ...
Concerned .. but must express a diplomatic manner given the constraints of political relations between countries (not forget that the BEA is a french governement body)
It's to note that the AAIB complain (between other things) about the fact that they could see the metal strip for a very short time only .. ie .. they could not make any serious analysis of the (most important) element that ( from BEA report) triggered the accident
But "maybe" they had the right to examine at long .. other scrap metal .. etc ...
Weird ins't it ?
Did the Titanium contact the Concorde's tyres only? Or both the Concorde and the Continental DC-10? Or ONLY the Douglas?
To note that between the Continental DC-10 and the Concorde .. another plane had taking off ...
