Court president Michele Luga gestures at the opening of the Concorde appeal trial at the courthouse of Versailles near Paris March 8, 2012. Continental Airlines, French officials and mechanics are going back on trial over the 2000 Air France Concorde crash, which killed 113 people and hastened the end of luxury supersonic travel. The Concorde, carrying mostly German tourists, caught fire during takeoff from Paris's Charles de Gaulle airport on July 25, 2000, and crashed into a nearby hotel.
