^^^ What kind of material is the black box made from that it can withstand the force of a plane hitting the ground at 500mph while everything else is reduced to shrapnel?
I've also always wondered if it's feasible to have a humongous parachute in the tail of the plane to be deployed in emergencies. Kind of like the parachutes that slow down space capsules after reentering the atmosphere. I know the space shuttle had parachutes in the tail.
