On July 25, 2000, shortly after departing from Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport near Paris, an Air France Concorde jet tragically crashed, resulting in the loss of over 100 lives. The incident occurred when one of the aircraft’s engines ignited, causing the supersonic plane to descend rapidly. Eyewitness accounts depicted the horrifying scene, noting a massive fireball erupting followed by a thick plume of black smoke. Unfortunately, there were no survivors from this devastating event.
