Investigators are expected to make their report on the cause of the crash public by early next year. Officials have theorized that as the plane raced down the runway, it hit a metal strip that ruptured a tire and sent debris hurtling toward a fuel tank, triggering a fire and a fuel leak. The metal strip is believed to have come from another jet.Along with the safety improvements, the Concordes have a fresh look inside. British Airways invested $20 million to redecorate cabin interiors and Concorde lounges. On Air France, fresh lobster and petits fours will be served.Sting, who has been taking the supersonic jet for two decades, said he was "still excited about going on Concorde after all these years."Flying at twice the speed of sound gives you a buzz," he said.
