FRANCE CONCORDE CRASH
FILE - Air France Concorde flight 4590 takes off with fire trailing from its engine on the left wing from Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, in this July 25, 2000 file photo. The plane crashed shortly after take-off, killing all the 109 people aboard and four others on the ground. For nearly a decade, investigators have argued that the jet never would have crashed if a Continental Airlines DC-10 hadn't dropped a piece of titanium onto the runway minutes before the supersonic craft took off. That finding will go up for debate as a long-awaited trial on the crash finally starts Tuesday Feb. 2 2010 after a decade of probes.
