the reasonw as durring take off, a engine mount from another plane that took off just minutes before concorde, came off... and left on the runway..... shatteringa tire which are over inflated to begin with..... the tire shattered (which was accounted for in saftey) in peices... but one very large chunk (which wasn't made part of the saftey study) slapped the wing, which was where the fuel was stored, creating something of a wave, but a high impact one... it blew out a rubber sealer,part, and the plane began SPEWING (not leaking) fuel, until finally it caught fire and was pretty much as long as the aircraft it's self.... this heat decintegrated teh wing, along with what is to a plane as a rudder is a steering will.... the captain knew they were all dead the minute they left the runway (he struggled to get it up, if he didn't they all died right on the land behind the run way (if he aborted takeoff_ but there was nothing he coudl do about it..... after those dreaded 120 something seconds, he lost it completely and hte plane LITERALLY just fell out of the sky.... not an arch as with a rocket, just straight up plummeted....
even now i can't help but watch the documentary and wonder what must've went through their minds....
