A court in France on Monday found U.S. airline Continental and one of its employees guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the Concorde crash near Paris 10 years ago that killed 113 people.
The judge ordered the company to pay a fine of 200,000 euros (268,000 dollars). A Continental mechanic was given a 15-month suspended sentence.
