Air France exonerated from Concorde crash responsibility

Air France has been exonerated from any responsibility for a Concorde crash which killed 113, legal experts have said.

It is reported that a rogue piece of debris from a DC-10 aircraft on the runway of Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport caused the accident on July 25, 2000.

The findings could put Continental Airlines, which owns the aircraft in question, into the legal spotlight.

A design problem in Concorde, which has since been pensioned off by both Air France and BA, has also been "formally excluded".
