Here is an interesting story on the crash that grounded the Concordes:

It seems that the fire wasn't the cause of the crash -- it was basic
airmanship.
How is:
1., it was flying too slowly;
2., it was several tons overweight and beyond its aft center of
gravity limit;
3., two of its four engines were damaged or erroneously shut down;
4., it was over-fueled.
'airmanship'?
