Weatherday: Concorde inferno

The fishing tower at Johnstown Castle, Wexford.

A largely dry day, partly cloudy with sunny spells. Temperatures up to 26deg locally. Very light northerly breezes will become variable in the evening.

On this day  in 2000, a Concorde supersonic plane crashed outside Paris, killing 113 including four people on the ground, after it caught fire while taking off at Charles de Gaulle airport.
