*busts out the big guns*This Spotted Skunk will bring to the Universe the Ultimate Stink.
I was just watching the documetary about that last night.*Returns from adulting*
This year in aviation history, Concorde F-BTSC Air France 4590 hits a piece of debris on the runway at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. The punctured tire of the Concorde sends high speed shrapnel into the left wing and engines, causing the #5 fuel tank to rupture and igniting a fire. Due to the high takeoff speed required for the Concorde, the plane is unable to abort safely and lifts off, remaining airborne briefly before crashing into a hotel.

A few mechanical improvements were added to the remaining Concordes shortly afterwards, including Kevlar-lined fuel tanks and upgraded tires. But due to other external factors, the plane would only remain in service for another three years.

I recant what was said. Don't do it to @Ravofox
Alsothis yearin aviation history (unlessbecause I got ninja'd by 4 other people right now), a 747 (9V-SPK) operating as Singapore Airlines 006 hits construction equipment parked on the runway during takeoff. This isn't a particularly important accident, as it retreads mistakes from previous accidents, nor is the death toll particularly high (a bit bleak, I know), but I wanted to show you how 9V-SPK and 9V-SPL were dressed up.

You all still believing this old myth. Not even worth trying. Delete it and this skunk will be happy to know you no longer believe in this, and I will exempt you from my stink.*busts out the big guns*
