Which begs the question, if they had lost good ground steering why didn't they chop the throttles while below 80 or V1. Of course everything is 20/20 in hindsight but.. One does have to wonder what the FE was doing on the takeoff roll. I wonder what the gear temp gauges were reading at 80 knots.
I dunno. There are too many things that went wrong on that flight. We can only hope that their mistakes help others to avoid repeating them. Unfortunately the official crash investigations seem to have covered up a lot of important information for whatever reason, so a lot of valuable info may be lost and we can only go by speculation, rumor and anecdotes from other Concorde pilots and people at the scene.
