MUD is 100% right, It is a well know true story but still not official (cold war not ended ??).
The russian spy stole some blueprint of the Concorde but some of the Concorde engineers knew about that is advance before the stole
(thanks to English or French spy, don't know which one). So the engineers made voluntarily some very-tiny-almost insignificant mistake
on the blueprints. The result (was absolutely not expected and not wanted) was the dramatic crash of the TU-144... But everybody in
France will tell you it's not true... It's like the crash in mediteranean sea of the Air France Caravelle, the official result stated that it was
from mechanical problem but in reality it is from a test flight of a french missile called Exocet that was fired from a french navy boat and
that get away from all control... Everybody know that in France but will tell you it's not true... Maybe like the TWA800 flight??????
