what exactly is a black box? is it just a "box" that records?
you telling me this data cant be stored in the clouds
No. Two weeks until the transponder ON the black box dies. Hell, the transponder could have been damaged in a crash, so it may not even work. The black box never "dies", it just shuts off like a computer. In the Air France crash, they didn't find the black box until they found the wreckage two years later. They were still able to pull data off the device, and it had been submerged in salt water.
It's a computer, located in the tail of the plane, that records everything that happens during the flight (in terms of electronics, systems, mechanics, etc.). Anything the pilots do manually, is captured on the black box. It's basically a comprehensive record of the flight. There's also a the cockpit voice recorder which is in the cockpit. You can't remove it, and it captures all dialogue in the cockpit, regardless of whether it's through the radio or not.
And, no, they can't store it in a cloud.
I heard the black box only records 2 hours of data. If that's true and the plane flew for 7 hours afterwards, we might miss what really happened
so they find it or what?
It's looking like that now. Those Aussies trolled those victim's families bad...They won't. Not for yearssss. That part of the Indian Ocean, losing contact, etc
It's going to be one of those mysteries that conspiracy theorists are going to go crazy with for years.
Cliff's on this thread for what happened in the past week?

I'm in Barcelona right now and they're covering it on CNN europe, BBC, Al Jazzera, and every other media outlet in the world.
im sorry but i hate that this is all over the news and all they are doing on every channel is speculating..
it would be kind of cool to hear about other things going on in the world.
i dont watch tv but when i take my breaks they have it on CNN and fox and its just getting annoying.
yup.
im speaking on the media aspect of this whole situation so dont call me insensitive and all that.
the news coverage does not make a difference in whether the plane is recovered or not.
they spotted some possible debris....they didn't find itCliff's on this thread for what happened in the past week?
