Why didn’t it succeed?
Concorde flights came to a screeching halt after only 27 years of operation on October 24, 2003. The reason? Excessive cost, high fares, and loud noise. On a regular flight, Concordes consumed 6,771 gallons of fuel, which quickly exceeded the profit made from the flight. In addition to that, only a total of 20 Concordes were built and no airline ordered them except for Air France and British Airways, who had to as they were state-run airlines at the time.
Oh, and a 2000 crash that killed everyone on board (109 people) and four people on the ground.
IKR. I was in a costume hire shop a few years ago and asked the shop lady (age late ~20s), “do you have a Zorro costume?” She asked me, “What’s a Zorro?” Faaark I’m officially old!
True story. Antonio Banderas then ran into the store, yelled “Oi!” and stormed out.
Let’s have a few brewskis on the porch and yell at kids to get off our lawn.
And everybody clapped
That shop lady?
