On July 25, an Air France Concorde crashed during takeoff near Paris, killing 113 people, including 96 Germans. What do you think of this first-ever crash of the supersonic jet?
“Man, that’s more Germans than the French killed in WWII.”

“They still have those Concordes? That’s so cute. I thought they went the way of Evel Knievel’s X-1 Skycycle.”
Jill Connelly • Psychologist
“I almost took that doomed Air France Concorde flight. Thank God, though, I chose instead to fly on Le Jette de Valu.”
Lynn Innis • Homemaker
“I took the Concorde from New York to London in the early ’90s, and it wasn’t all that great. Macaulay Culkin kept kicking my seat.”
Michael Kipp • Landscaper
“Man was not meant to break the sound barrier, and now we are paying mightily for our hubris.”
