"I flew on Concord to New York from London, and I arrived before I f*cking left!" -Billy Connolly
Fyi, Concord's only air accident had nothing to do with the aircraft's design or operation. The crash was the result of inadequate repairs done to another commercial passenger airplane which ended up dropping a significant sized piece of metal onto the runway just prior to the ill-fated Concord flight. The piece of fallen metal punctured a tire on Concord's landing gear which ended up shredding the tire, sending pieces flying in all directions at extreme velocity which would end up puncturing the Concord's hull and into a fuel tank which ignited and caused a huge fireball to engulf the airplane as it was lifting off from the runway. The Concord would then crash down into a nearby hotel killing all on board as well as some people at the hotel.

Fun story, and I've no idea how true it is -- Annie Moore was the first immigrant to land at Ellis Island, and is commemorated in the statue shown in the video. According to legend, however, she was only first because a German immigrant, whose name is now forgotten, gallantly stepped back from the gangplank and said, "After you, Fraulein."
