the Black box flight recorder............

[graham John]

is actually Red




this is the one off the plane that crashed in new york / Hudson river last week, always wondered what they looked like

they are orange so they are easier to find in a crash, no other instrument controls are orange

and the recording is on a thin wire like mig welding wire, not tapes as some would think, or even digital disks. the wire survives intense heat better

is that why Hallys plant pot is that colour, easier to find if he crashes it
