crash-survive planes

what's the material black box is made of? in every plane crash it's usually the only thing that survives so why not make the whole airplane from the same material so that it also survives?

Save last words in the black box...

A very macabre thought, nevertheless one that needs to be spoken out. With airline accidents, plane crashes and terrorist hijackings on the rise, a passenger's last words might be the only thing left to be passed to the bereaved families. Where's the best place to store last words then? hmmm...black box flight recorder? It's the only thing that certainly gets recovered after a plane crash and it records everything that goes on in the cockpit, so why not store records of passengers' last words too? I can't think of a better device to store the data. Passengers can use the hand sets on their seats to speak their last words with voice data passed and stored automatically in the black box.

cannonball fly

we need a big human-cannonball style cannon to shoot people to other cities - airfare costs too much these days and the stress of flying caused by accidents has increased. a big net could catch the fliers. before you embellish me with synonyms to the word 'insensitive' i will tell you i am taking the same air france flight that crashed in the ocean tomorrow and i already feel very jittery about it. rationally i am not afraid but irrationally i am. it's spooky but can't help it. i know. what are the chances of it happening again so soon. i am nervous and a cannonball would be really nice. my condolences to the families of the victims. mom. dad. love you.
