Olivier Metzner (C), French lawyer for U.S. Continental Airlines, speaks to journalists after the verdict in the Concorde appeal trial at the courthouse of Versailles near Paris November 29, 2012. A French appeals court on Thursday absolved Continental Airlines of responsibility for a 2000 Concorde crash which killed 113 people and cleared a mechanic at the U.S. airline of the charge of involuntary manslaughter. The verdict comes over a decade after the deadly accident that helped to spell the end of the supersonic airliner. A previous court found that a small metal strip, which fell onto the runway from a Continental aircraft just before the Concorde took off from Paris, caused the crash.
