Concorde Black Box Findings Link Engine Failures to Crash
French ministry details from the Concorde crash show debris along the flight path and tire remnants on the runway. Engine No 2 failed, engine No 1 also malfunctioned, and the plane could not lift its landing gear after takeoff. A memorial service drew mourners as prosecutors opened an inquiry into involuntary homicide and injury. Air France offered an immediate $20,000 to each family to cover funeral costs.
