I'll defer to y'all engineers and technical motherf*ckers here for an informed opinion... but speakin' as a lay person, why the f*ck don't these aviation manufactures implement a heat, water and temperature resistant GPS device in these BlackBoxes so that in the event of a carnage, the BB can be located and excavated with ease?  smiley: tired

The black boxes almost always survive and they have a beacon which is automatically activated. GPS is pretty friggin useless if you don't have line of sight to the satellites, like when there's 20,000 feet of water on top of you.
