A Paris court has said Continental Airlines was "criminally responsible" for the crash of a Concorde supersonic jet 10 years ago, and fined it 200,000 euros. It has also been ordered to pay 1m euros to the jet's operator Air France. A Continental mechanic, John Taylor, was given a 15-month suspended prison sentence over the crash. Continental has said it will appeal, saying the verdict is "absurd" and "only protects French interests". |
