Concorde - join the campaign
In article op.tcfv2ea5j9nxpm@clive,
Clive wrote: Concorde had been the safest working passenger airliner in the world according to passenger deaths per distance travelled, although the Boeing 737 fleet acquires more passenger miles and service hours in one week than the Concorde fleet acquired in the course of its entire service career. The crash of the Concorde was the beginning of the end of its career. Good enough? No. The safety record that the Concorde had was a quirk of statistics. The Concorde had low flight hours and zero fatal accidents. That made the safety number look good. Once it had its first fatal accident, the Concorde dropped to the bottom of the list, and became the least safe working passenger airliner in the world. With one fatal accident and so few flight hours, the Concorde made the Russians look like models of safety. -john- -- ================================================== ==================== John A.
