There's an awesome new concorde photo circulating on the new showing the plane taking off with the engine (landing gear also??) on fire. I think that photographer ought to get the photo of the year award!

I mean, how often do you get to photograph a plane that's about to crash!!!!

I tend to believe the tire burst theory now.

Another New Photo has appeared on the Air Disaster Website.

The Photo is off the doomed Concorde at the Gate just before the ill-fated flight.

I was just sitting here looking at an enlarged version of that photo before I read your posting. On close inspection of the photo it seems as though the flames are indeed coming out of the gear bay - not the number two engine - at least initially. It seems quite plausible that the blown tire may have sent tire/rim debris into the gear bay area, puncturing a wing tank and/or fuel lines. Either way, ingestion of the flames, or severed fuel lines would certainly seem like a logical explanation for the loss of power to the affected engines. I agree with you on that photo....it should give the investigators a wonderful tool in determining the cause of this accident....and help them take steps to ensure it never happens again.
