The closest major air crash to that date was the crash of Air France flight 4590 on July 25, 2000. The Air France Concord taking off from Charles DeGaulle Airport near Paris headed for JFK Airport in New York ran over a piece of metal debris which slashed a tire sending a large piece of rubber from the tire hitting a wing and fracturing the fuel tank. The leaking fuel burst into flame and when the captain shut one engine down because of the fire warning, the plane didn't have enough power to complete the climb and minutes later crashed into a nearby hotel killing all 109 on board and 4 on the ground. This crash led to the grounding of the entire Concorde fleet.
