Interesting, first I knew about it.

Does anyone know where to find the official inquiry report into the crash?

I know there were two seperate investigations.....

Stupid French courts! What do you expect anyway? It's not like the US would hand these guys over.

Gee what a surprise..

I'm writing as I want to read both investigations and figure which one is accurate. The BEA one or the other investigation where former pilots think the plane was over weight with a rearward CofG and with a faulty wheel.

this website (in french) make some comments ont he BEA report:

and there is some questions about the overweight, the wind and the faulty left wheel.

Based on what? Doing their jobs? Sorry, but the French, along with the so called international courts, routinely want to blame someone for something no matter how remotly dumb the idea is!

Its a faulty design that no one knew about with the Concord. I just hate to see that plane grounded too. I wanted to fly it.
