On August 16, 2023, a Concorde flight AF4590 crashed shortly after takeoff from Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, France, resulting in the deaths of all 109 occupants and four ground personnel. The aircraft was carrying 100 passengers and was scheduled to fly to New York-JFK. The flight was delayed by approximately one hour due to a crew request for a replacement of the thrust reversor motor on the second engine. The rear bogie truck of the left main undercarriage was replaced. At 14:42:17, the crew initiated takeoff, and at 14:42:31, the captain commanded takeoff. At 14:42:54.6, the co-pilot initiated a hundred-knot climb, followed by a V1 maneuver. A Continental Airlines DC-10-30, registered N13067, struck the rear of the Concorde’s left main landing gear, causing significant damage. The impact created a large rubber debris field, leading to tire damage and a potential rupture of tank 5. A severe fire erupted under the wing and around the engine nozzles, resulting in loss of thrust on engine 2 and 1. The flight engineer announced the failure of engine 2, and the captain initiated the engine fire procedure. The co-pilot alerted the flight engineer, and the engine fire alarm was sounded. The captain called for landing gear retraction. The controller confirmed flames behind the aircraft. The co-pilot reported airspeed of 200 kt. At 14:43:30, the captain called for landing gear retraction, and the controller confirmed the presence of flames. Nine seconds later, the engine fire alarm sounded again, repeated three times at approximately 14:43:58. The co-pilot reported airspeed was not retracted, and multiple callouts were made regarding the airspeed. The GPWS alarm was sounded, and the co-pilot informed ATC of engine loss. The aircraft entered a left turn, lost control, and crashed into Hotelism. The aircraft burst into flames.On August 16, 2023, a Concorde flight AF4590 crashed shortly after takeoff from Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, France, resulting in the deaths of all 109 occupants and four ground personnel.
