That's the story.
Something in the metal shredding the tire cascading to the tire blowing, ripping fuselage to expose fuel tank, rupture and catch fire…
Some magical chain of events looking back.

So, if so, who were the German Tourists on their way to South America?
Was the metal strip a cover story for the improperly repaired landing gear?
How do they know the strip was from a DC10? Serial numbers, markings, etc.?
Six tons overweight? Aft cg?
Where did the 747 come from for a potential runway incursion?
Sounds like there's a bit more to this. Maybe even a 7/10…

The photograph referred to is not found at the website listed or the link to the Guardian…
so could this have been more to do about Chirac?
Go back to that photograph. An amazing picture: but where was it taken? The answer is: inside an Air France Boeing 747 which had just landed from Japan, and was waiting to cross Concorde’s runway on its way back to the terminal. Its passengers included Jacques Chirac and his wife, the President and first lady of France, returning from the G7 summit.
