"MON DIEU!"...It was vintage racer, Bill Lightfoot being interviewed on ABC's
Good Morning America (07:05 ET 7/28) A great interview...with lots of
expression....depicted Lightfoot as a heads up guy who was a business
passenger on the Concorde...when an emergency landing was required....and
perhaps as a real hero* as well!

* Bill was interviewed by ABC News....while on take off in 1979...he saw
debris from an exploding tire pierce through the wing of the
Concorde....ruputuring a fuel line! He immediately alerted and summoned the
co-pilot....then pushed the pilot's face against the window to see the
extensive damage...the co-pilot turned immediately pale as he exclaimed: "MON
DIEU!" The plane then made an emergency landing....without further incident
or injury to the Concorde's passengers. No doubt....Bill's years of racing
experience played an important role in his decisive actions! Good
job....gets Two Thumbs Up!
Bill Lightfoot is from Vienna, VA and a great competitor.
