Five people and Continental Airlines face involuntary manslaughter charges in France stemming from the 2000 Air France Concorde crash in Paris that killed 113 people. According to Reuters, investigators believe a “narrow strip of metal had fallen onto the runway from a previous Continental flight,” which led to a ruptured tire on the Concorde and the ensuing crash. Not surprisingly, Continental denies responsibility for the accident.
