Continental on trial for deadly Concorde crash

[oz_mark]

It will be intersting to see how they divide the blame between Continental (for the non standard strip) and the Concorde makers (for not fixing a defect in the plane)

US airline Continental and two of its employees go on trial this week for the manslaughter of 113 people who died in a Concorde crash that put an end to the dream of supersonic travel.

A former French civil aviation official and two senior members of the Concorde program will be tried on the same charge from Tuesday in a court near Paris, with proceedings expected to last four months.

The trial is set to be heard in a French court under French law.

In which case I'm not putting any money on the defendants.
