Hi all,

The campaign to get Concorde flying again has attracted 2,000
signatures this week!

Please add your support at www.save-concorde.com.
Concorde grew old and killed many humans and so was pensioned off so
has not to kill again which it surly would have done .

You are in error. The modifications necessary to make it safe
were made and the aircraft was returned to service.

It was retired because it was no longer profitable to operate.

Made it safe in respect of the cause of the French crash Keith what
other potentially lethal faults where/are still left undiscovered and
would remain undiscovered until one day a sequence of events
triggered whatever off and brought another one down in flames.

Something that can be said of any machine made by man.

I will never forget watching that AF concorde with flames and smoke
streaming from it on TV to my dying day in fact it has put me off
flying in any aircraft now . I am due to go to Brussels again shortly
and I will be going by Eurostar has I have done ever since the
concorde crash even though it does entail an overnight stay in Belgium

I suggest that if you feel this way you stay safely at home, you may
recall there have been some rather nasty train crashes
over the years.

But whatever you do don't go to bed, it's a very dangerous place. More
people die in bed than any other single location.

Maybe that is the reason my car only does a maximum of 32 miles in any
week mostly it does around 15 I only go out when going out is a must

That's bad news then, most car accidents happen near to home, so you're
upping your chances again.

At least with a train or car crash you don't have the shear terror of
falling maybe 30,000 feet to face before dying .

I don't know if anybody has pointed this out yet, but on reputation
alone, it appears that Belgium must be Europe's safest and most
risk-shy city.

And don't forget all those horrific accidents where the 747 derailed or
had its cars become decoupled in flight - that never happens on trains.

That was, like 2 days ago. Have you been tearing yourself up over that
the whole time? Sheesh.

Not really, only visit the list every few days. Belgium wasn't a city 2 days
ago either.
