FRANCE-US-GERMANY-AVIATION-CRASH-TRIAL-CONTINENTAL


This picture taken on February 1, 2010 in Gonesse outside Paris, shows a memorial plaque in tribute to the 113 victims of the crash of an Air France Concorde in July 25, 2000 at Gonesse near the Paris Charles de Gaulle airport. An engine of the supersonic passenger jet burst into flames upon takeoff and the craft veered into a fatal dive, killing all 109 passengers and crew aboard and four people on the ground. US airline Continental and two of its employees go on trial this week for the manslaughter of 113 people who died in a Concorde crash that put an end to the dream of supersonic travel. A former French civil aviation official and two senior members of the Concorde programme will be tried on the same charge on February 2, 2010 in a court near Paris, with proceedings expected to last four months. The plaque reads "on July 25, 2000, the Concorde crashed in Gonesse, taking the life of 113 people aboard and on the ground". AFP PHOTO JOEL SAGET
