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.

Yes, both crew and passengers.
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.
Concorde suffered only one serious (i.e. fatal) incident/crash during its lifetime.
Mostly because of landing gear failures on both take off and landing.
