First Concord Commercial Flight

Concord is a French/British aircraft company that is located in Paris, France. Their aircraft travel more than 2 times the speed of sound. 

Concord was founded due to the choice of Morien Morgan, a plane engineer, that was asked to make a supersonic airline. It was soon to be created. 

Concord later had many good ideas about how to make the planes go faster not by better fuel, but aerodynamics and effort to build a good company. 

In 2003, Concord was bought off by British Airways and Air France because of Concord's terrible 2000 crash, the 9/11 attacks and a choice made by Airbus, the owner. 

The company is criticized by its environmental problems because Concord aircraft make nitrogen oxide that destroy the ozone layer.

World Cross Day

World Cross Day is an medical day from IRRC, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent department. There are about 96 million volunteers who are with IRRC. 

The IRRC started off as one man, Jean-Henri Dument, a Swiss businessman, traveled to Italy to see Napoleon III. His army needed help, and he also knew medicine. 

When the First World War started and the IRRC was formed, they had a lot of people that needed help and only a handful of money was with them. 

World War II, they helped many saves to safely and safe haven, but the money was running out and business was slow in Algeria, where they had all of the money earned. 

When a Nobel Prize was won by Norway and the IRRC was in bankruptcy, they gave the money to them and the IRRC was up and running. 

World Cross Day is celebrated in almost every country and each country has a different date when they celebrate it.
