A French court has ruled Continental Airlines are ‘criminally responsible’ for the Paris Concorde crash.
The airline and a mechanic have been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
113 people died when the supersonic jet crashed shortly after take-off in 2000.
The court has ruled the tragedy was caused by a metal strip from a Continental plane which was left on the runway at Charles de Gaulle airport.
That burst a tyre and led to the fire on Concorde.
Prosecutors want Continental to face a fine and suspended prison sentences for the mechanic and his boss.
Three French aviation officials were found not guilty.
