Yes, it will most probably go all the way - Continental engineers installed an illegal part on an aircraft, and that illegal part was then involved in an incident. Yes, Concorde had its own flaws, and that is why there are two Concorde program participants in the dock and one aviation safety official, but that does not mitigate the fact that Continental engineers installed the illegal part and then signed off on that aircraft.
