There are individual passenger aircraft that flew more hours and cycles than the entire Concorde production run without incident. The accident where running over a piece of metal on a runway during takeoff resulted in a raging inferno and ultimately the deaths of everyone on board wasn't the first time Concorde's unusually-prone-to-failure tyres had punctured a fuel tank when they exploded, or something likely to happen if a different aircraft ran over the same piece of metal. Separately, it also had two spontaneous in-flight structural failures of the rudder. All this in a production run of 14 aircraft that spent most of their life on the ground. Considering it was a complete novelty designed in the 1970s it did OK, but I don't think there are many airframes its safety record compares favourably with.
