Air France Flight 4590 was a Concorde flight from Charles de Gaulle International Airport near Paris, France, travelling to JFK International Airport in New York City.
On 25 July 2000 it crashed in Gonesse, France, killing all one hundred passengers and nine crew on board the flight, as well as four people on the ground.
As a result of this crash – together with the economic effects of 9/11 and other factors – the iconic aircraft was retired in 2003.
