How Black Boxes Work

Join Josh and Chuck as they dive into the fascinating world of black box flight recorders, exploring how these incredibly durable devices survive plane crashes to tell the story of what went wrong. They'll break down the difference between flight data recorders and cockpit voice recorders, reveal the intense testing these orange boxes undergo (spoiler: they're not actually black!), and explain how investigators piece together the final moments of a flight. You'll learn why planes can't just be built entirely out of black box material and discover how these technological marvels have helped make flying safer for everyone.
