Chilling final words of Concorde pilot before tragic fireball crash that killed 113

The chilling final words of the pilot at the helm of a tragic crash have been revealed. The transcript of the Air France flight 4590 Concorde plane crash was disclosed from the cockpit voice recorder. Some 113 people died in the crash.

The iconic plane was heading from Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport to New York when it ploughed into a hotel in the small town of Gonesse. It was just one minute 17 seconds after its pilot was told the plane was on fire.

According to a report by the Mirror, Captain Christian Marty's last words on July 25, 2000, were: "Too late... no time." The co-pilot was then heard to say: "Le Bourget, Le Bourget. Negative; we are trying Le Bourget [airport to land]." Sixteen seconds later the recording ends.
