      IRC Nickname: Big_Al_002 Group: Guardian Posts: 1102 Member No.: 1777 Joined: March 21, 2009 Total Events Attended: 25    | Hey, if you haven't heard the news yet there was a plane that reported severe thunderstorms to the control center (they were on their way to Paris) and never made it. Today (6/2) they found debris on the coast of Brazil which MAY be the plane's debris but they do not know for sure. How will they find it? The plane in somewhere deep (geologists say it could be 4,000 meters) in the Atlantic Ocean, and modern airplanes like this aircraft are equipped with things that they call a black box. The news source I read from says it contains voice recordings of what went on in the cockpit and should tell how the plane went down. They said the box should be able to withstand 11,000 feet underwater. That's all I know for now, post if you know anything about this. It is sad, but I think it wouldn't be right to remember those who died on this plane (228 people). My guess is that most of them are dead by now. About a month or so ago, 3 football players went out to the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida to go fishing. They went too far off-shore and encountered bad weather and waves and their boat flipped over. It was about 72 hours I think, 1 out of 3 of them survived and only suffered mild hypothermia. I believe there is still some hope, lets all cross our fingers. -------------------- Guardian from 4/20/09 to 8/4/09, then quit. Back, Trial Guardian 6/12/11.

The total death toll (assuming they all died) is 228 (216 passangers and 12 crew) and the area the plane crashed in is anything up to 7,000m Deep. As for hoping they survived, the debris is spread over an area 5 KILOMETERS wide which means it probably broke up mid air. I'm sure that you *might* be able to survive in the water for 72 hours + I doubt anyone can survive a mid air aircraft breakup AND subsequently 48 hours + in the water. --------------------  Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||||||

Ok right basically you have this all wrong. The infamous black box inside the airplane is a small box which contains the data on the airplanes vital systems. It can tell them Exactly what system failed and exactly when. It tells them precisely what happened to the plane it is NOT a voice recording of what is in the cockpit that is a whole load of ballshit. They can find the box because they give off a small homing beacon and they plan to send a small robot down to the seabed to retrieve the box ASAP. --------------------   | ||||||

Hate to say it andrew, but you're actually wrong. The 'Black Box' isnt actually one box at all, nor is it black despite their name (lol) since they paint them bright orange to be found easily in a situation like this. I hate quoting wikipedia but since I cbf looking for a more reliable source:
The FDR (Flight data recorer) is what you describe, a box which records inputs and outputs which physically describes what the plane is doing for a period of time before the plane crashed, I forget the exact amount of time it is but it isn't all that long. The CVR does what Al described and has recordings of what the pilots etc. have been saying in the period of time before the crash, I'm pretty sure I recall reading that they are damaged fairly often in crashes and are frequently totally useless as a result. CVR's also only record something like the last 30 minutes of conversation so its only helpful if the issue suddenly developed   Thats what a modern 'Black Box' looks like. -------------------- Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||||||

That's cute. 1. I'm American. Not Irish. Moron. 2. I don't idolize Che, he was just cool and I needed a new picture for my avatar. 3. I'm technically not a youth. 4. Don't pretend you know anything about me. 5. The French suck and nobody likes them. 6.

 IRC Nickname: Dnovelta Group: Emeritus Posts: 2750 Member No.: 130 Joined: January 20, 2008 Total Events Attended: 137 | Really don't get why people are always ragging on the french... I was in Paris and they were incredibly nice people. Most of the time people don't treat THEM nice so they return the favor. A lot of the time Americans will go over there and just start talking English to them...you're in their country. Give them the respect of at least trying their language. At a very least say "Je ne parle pas beaucoup de français." I don't speak french. Then they'll understand and speak English to you. While I was there I overheard a bunch of American tourists talking about how "rude" some salesman was. He didn't tell her that the coffee she wanted was out of stock until she was at the front of the line. And he didn't speak English to her! The nerve! I'm American too by the way... --------------------   | ||||||

Thank you for putting the nail in the coffin. I highly doubt I'll ever be returning to this clan. Btw, to Colonel..I know man. My girlfriend was in France last summer and she didn't really like it, but she admitted that the tourists were much worse than the French themselves. I don't really hate the French.
