As I remember, this Concorde had a piece of metal from the runway puncture a fuel tank on takeoff. It turned back to the airport, and crashed less than a mile from the runway. All aboard were killed.

I remember the pilot tried, but was loosing altitude, all he could do in the end was steer to the right of a hotel, and take out as few people on the ground as possible.

True Story!: When I read about this in my local news paper, directly below it there was a story whose headline read; "Firestone death toll rises to 81". Coincidence?
