Re:Ask HN: Why do airlines still use "black boxes" ? by asciilifeform on Wednesday June 03, 2009 @04:52PM (#640380)
Aside from the usual reasons given (a plane consisting mostly of steel armor could not get off the ground, etc.) it would make no difference to the passengers. Falling to the ground from altitude will kill you even if you are sitting inside an indestructible box, simply through rapid decceleration.
