Alternatively, why don't planes have floating EPIRBs (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distress_radiobeacon http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distress_radiobeacon) or even floating black boxes? They could be attached to one or more points on the plane where they're likely to be released if wreckage sinks.
- VMG 13y agoalso what about including some kind of traceable liquid that can be detected by search ships or satellites?
- ricardobeat 13y agoBlack boxes do have an ELT. If the plane had crashed it's likely they would have been found it already.
