French to sue Continental Airlines?

It seems the French are considering bringing charges against Continental Airlines because one of their planes took off ahead of the Concorde flight which caught fire and then crashed. They are claiming that a piece of metal fell off the Continental plane and was left lying on the runway causing the Concorde's tire to blow out throwing debris into the fuel tank.
Well just who's responsibility it is to provide a clear runway? And if the Continental jet did drop something on the runway, what are they supposed to do - go back and pick it up?
This was a terrible accident, and an accident it was.
