- Story Text: As flags flew at half-mast across Germany the nation
has been struggling to come to terms with the Air France
Concorde crash that claimed 113 lives, including 96 German
tourists headed for a luxury Carribean cruise.
Mourners on Thursday (July 27) brought their sorrow to
a memorial service in the northern town of Neustadt, where the
tour was organised.
Peter Deilmann, German tour operator who chartered the
doomed Concorde, addressed a packed church in the small
coastal town where his luxury cruise business is based.
The 64-year-old shipowner had booked 99 passengers, nearly
all Germans, on a 1,500 US dollar-a-head specially chartered
Concorde flight to launch their 15-day Caribbean cruise in
style.
All 109 people on the Air France Concorde and four on the
ground were killed when the New York-bound flight crashed
after take-off from Paris.
Of the 100 passengers, 96 were Germans flying off to new
York to embark for the luxury cruise. The Air France passenger
list also named two Danes, an American and an Austrian among
the dead.
