Continental Appeals 'Absurd' Concorde Verdict
Continental Airlines Inc. will ask an appeals court near Paris to overturn its manslaughter conviction for the deaths of 113 people in the crash of Air France's Concorde supersonic jet almost 12 years ago.
Now part of United Continental Holdings Inc. (UAL), the world's largest airline, Continental and a maintenance engineer dispute their December 2010 convictions and will show the court new evidence the deaths weren't their fault.
"Neither the company nor its employees were responsible for the Concorde accident," Continental said in an e-mailed statement. "To blame the crash on a small strip of metal from another aircraft is absurd."
