Airline Worker Sought in Concorde Crash Probe
A French judge has issued an international arrest warrant for a welder wanted for questioning in the 2000 Concorde crash that killed 113 people, a lawyer involved in the case said.
John Taylor, an employee of Continental Airlines, has ignored two summonses to appear before French examining magistrate Christophe Regnard, lawyer Karim Ouchikh said.
Taylor is wanted for questioning about a titanium alloy strip that fell off a Continental DC-10 and has been linked to the punctured tire that damaged the Concorde’s fuel tanks.
