Firestone not to blame for this one !




(Reuters) - Air France is suing Continental Airlines over its alleged role in the July Concorde disaster that killed 113 people and grounded the supersonic aircraft, a spokeswoman for the French airline said on Wednesday. French investigators believe a strip of metal which had fallen off a Continental DC-10 punctured a wheel on the doomed Air France Concorde during its take-off from Paris airport, triggering the fiery crash.

I think its cool that a plane can be designed that if one of the tires get punctured the whole plane would explode.

Mmmm ... now should we sue the company that owns the DC-10 that dropped the shard of metal (which is scarey by itself).

Or should we sue the company that made tires that explode into a big firey ball when punctured ?

At the time of this post, Hiroshima Tire company could not be reached for comment.
