Air France flight 4590, the Concorde never made it to the age of thirty before it crashed and was no more. The Concorde was a white and blue supersonic passenger aircraft that was built to provide flights for people who could afford them. It was part of an era where people wanted to be whisked away in a fast and luxurious way. However, like all things, crashes and failures happen and on July 25, 2000, the Concorde crashed, killing 113 people, including four on the ground. The cause of the crash was the fact that an airport attendant had overfilled the Concorde’s fuel tank.
