In less than 120 seconds, a piece of metal annihilated the fastest commercial airplane in history.

Описание: The Concorde was the only machine capable of outrunning the sun, but it concealed a fatal flaw that had generated 57 ignored warnings before the year 2000.

For 27 years, it was the symbol of luxury and speed, flying at twice the altitude of Mount Everest. But on July 25, 2000, a piece of debris on the runway triggered an unstoppable chain reaction.

In this documentary, we examine how the physics of the shockwave and a series of maintenance errors brought the supersonic era to an end.

From luxury at Mach 2 to hell on the Paris runway.

This is the complete story of the rise and fall of the Concorde.
