Yes, both crew and passengers.
Concorde suffered only one serious (i.e. fatal) incident/crash during its lifetime.
The main trigger was the crash of a Concorde in 2000; all the passengers and crew died. For some years, Concorde had been flying at a loss (even after writing off the huge development costs). After the crash, all Concordes were grounded and airlines took the commercial decision to discontinue the service.
Mostly because of landing gear failures on both take off and landing.
The concorde crashed due to a scrap of metal from a dc-10 left in the runway being sucked through the engine and creating a HUGE fireball.
The big last crash that took Concorde out of schedule was on the 25th of July 2000, It crashed in Gonesse France. Other than that though it had a beautiful safety record
The first and only fatal crash of the Concorde occurred on July 25, 2000. The aircraft, operated by Air France, crashed shortly after takeoff from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, resulting in the deaths of all 109 people on board and four individuals on the ground. The crash was attributed to a combination of factors, including a tire burst that led to a fuel tank rupture and subsequent fire. This tragic incident significantly impacted the operation and perception of the Concorde program.
After the crash of Air France Flight 4590 in July 2000, which resulted in the tragic loss of 113 lives, Concorde's operations were suspended. The aircraft underwent extensive safety reviews and modifications, including improvements to its maintenance procedures and engine design. Concorde returned to service in November 2001, but the combination of economic factors, reduced demand for supersonic travel, and the impact of the September 11 attacks led to its retirement in 2003. Consequently, Concorde ceased commercial operations, marking the end of its era as a pioneering supersonic passenger jet.
