VERSAILLES, France, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- A French appeals court overturned a ruling that found Continental Airlines guilty of manslaughter in a 2000 Concorde jet crash that killed 113 people.
The French court initially blamed Continental for the crash. It said a piece of metal fell off one of Continental's DC-10 jetliners on a runway at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris that the Concorde supersonic jet ran over the debris, causing a puncture in a tire.
