đŸ“± Holafly eSIM - mobile data the moment you land, no roaming charges: ï»żï»żhttps://esim.holafly.com/plans/?ref=navbar&discount_code=SWISS On 12 April 1989, a British Airways Concorde was climbing out of Christchurch on its way to Sydney when the crew heard a loud bang. No warnings. No handling problems. Nothing on any instrument. They carried on and landed normally. It was the ground crew in Sydney who noticed that a large section of the upper rudder was simply gone. It happened again in 1992 on the way to New York. And again in November 2002, which British Airways recorded as the fifth such failure. And again in February 2003, just months before Concorde retired for good. Pieces of the fastest airliner ever built are lying on the floor of the Atlantic right now. The cause was almost comically mundane. Moisture had been seeping past the rivets for years, slowly separating the rudder skin from the honeycomb structure underneath, until a piece let go at twice the speed of sound. And every single time, the aircraft landed safely. That was not luck. Concorde was built with two entirely separate rudders, an upper and a lower, each split again into two sections. Lose one and you still have the other. It is one of the quietest pieces of brilliant engineering on the whole aeroplane, and almost nobody talks about it. So I wanted to know where the limit actually is. I flew it with the upper section gone, then with the entire rudder gone, then with no rudder and fifty knots of crosswind, and then I started taking the tail fin itself apart piece by piece. And at the end, the thing everyone always brings up: the crash in 2000, and why it was never Concorde's fault. Thank you so much for watching, and a special thank you to my members and supporters.
