It then plunged earthwards in a ball of fire.<\/p>\n<p>The terrifying images were caught on film and beamed around the world. An official French inquiry has already blamed Continental, concluding that a titanium strip fell off one of its DC-10s on the runway, punctured the Concorde&#8217;s tyre which shattered, in turn holing a fuel tank.<\/p>\n<p>With still-grieving relatives gathered in the public gallery to see justice done, Judge Andreassier promised the trial would &#8220;shed light on the tragedy&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Lawyer Olivier Metzner, for Continental, argued the iconic plane was badly maintained, and &#8220;had problems with its wheels&#8221;. But Mr Metzner said the theory that the titanium strip caused the crash was false and claimed Air France should be on trial. He added: I question the independence of the investigators, I question those who did not want the truth, I question Air France and it is evident that on July 25, 2000, the Concorde should never have been allowed to take off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<!-- Either there are no banners, they are disabled or none qualified for this location! -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A judge yesterday vowed to discover who was to blame for the horror Concorde crash that killed 113.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"jnews_post_split":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[137],"tags":[7878,8057],"class_list":["post-2463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sectoral","tag-air-france","tag-america"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2463"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2463\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8595,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2463\/revisions\/8595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
