On this day 17 years ago (July 25, 2000), Air France flight 4590 crashed shortly after takeoff from Charles de Gaulle Intl Airport due to the aircraft running over debris from a DC-10 that took off just before, puncturing a fuel tank, and causing a huge fire. The crew tried to land at a nearby airport, but could not due to the distance. The Concorde crashed into a hotel killing all 109 on board and 4 in the hotel, resulting in 113 deaths. This was the first crash of the Concorde, resulting in the whole fleet to be grounded. We will forever remember this day in history.
