Two weeks ago, I asked, “Live Black Boxes…Need or Want?” This question followed what seemed to be a media frenzy over live black boxes while they searched for something to report about MH370. Since then, thousands of man hours have been expended looking for the Boeing 777. Flight crews have taken risks flying low underneath the weather. Ships are making their way through difficult seas to support the search. Satellites have been redirected to new orbits.
Definition of insanity…
The Guardian, citing @AviationSafety, reports over 100 flights have gone missing since 1948. Most notable here is Air France 447 because of the calls for live black boxes following the disappearance of the Airbus 330.
