Gentlemen.
Please let's not start slagging each other off on the grounds of nationality or our opinions. We are supposed to be professionals.
Now. Why have the BEA glossed over the fact that the aircraft rotated far to early (and slowly) probably because the wheel spacer was misssing and it was consequently about to depart from the paved surface.
Possibly as a result of this it was never able to reach V2 and was on a hiding to nothing.
It is possible that if it had been able to climb, it might have made Le Bourget. The burning fuel may not have disrupted the airframe sufficiently to cause a catastrophic failure as the fire was external.
The metal from the Continental thrust reverser may have caused the tyre to burst, but it is a little unfair to blame it for the accident.
It seems to me that as usual there was a chain of events leading up to this accident and the removal of any one of them would have averted it.
Ironic to consider that if they had used the other runway, they would have been airborne well before the wear strip from the thrust reverser was encountered.
