Concorde Crash

NPR's Sarah Chayes reports from outside Paris that an Air France Concorde jet crashed just after takeoff today from Charles de Gaulle airport. All 109 people on board and four on the ground are believed dead. A German tour company had chartered the flight, so most of those on board were Germans.
