What colour do you think Black Boxes(Flight Data Recorders) are?? Please do not research them or anything. Just tell me what colour you think they are.

Mark · 08-01-2006, 03:54 PM

I am 90% sure they are orange. It's the only color that would make sense- black would make them hard to find after an accident, and no I have no researched that.

**Attitude** · 08-01-2006, 06:43 PM

Black. If it's a black box... then it HAS to be black. Common sense, right?

Actually its not common sense, as Mark stated Black Boxes are actually orange, not black.

**Kurisu** · 08-01-2006, 07:24 PM

I never really gave thought to that question.

I only thought about it when I was watching Seconds from disaster.

You see, if they made Black boxes black, they would be very difficult to find in the wake of an airplane crash. Instead, they are orange so they can be found easily.

Admiral101 · 08-01-2006, 08:34 PM

They are actually more of a reddish Orange, than orange.

jaantrag · 08-02-2006, 01:05 PM

yeah i know that they aint black cos i have seen that thing whit my own eye

**Attitude** · 08-02-2006, 02:26 PM

True dat... but you would think it's black because it's called a "Black Box" lol

I beleive they are oarnge, no reasearch and I did not look at anyones posts.

Ranger1398 · 08-02-2006, 04:57 PM

I would have to say maybe Yellow or some type of bright color so people are able to recover them quickly. But when I first read the question I thought of Gray.

mrgame · 08-02-2006, 05:22 PM

I would have said bright red but that orange is close enough.

**Edwin** · 08-03-2006, 03:43 AM

I have seen them attempting to smash one on Braniac (science show) so I knew they are orange. The little thing survived being rolled over by a monster truck, put in a safe with 1kg of plastic explosives, dropped of a 50ft crane onto an ironing board and much more. It finally failed in the "scrapyard crusher"
