Seriously, sad story. Bummer.
Appointment in Samarra:
A merchant in Baghdad sends his servant to the marketplace. Shortly, the servant comes home white and trembling and tells him that in the marketplace he was jostled by a woman, whom he recognized as Death, and she made a threatening gesture. Borrowing the merchant’s horse, he flees at top speed to Samarra, where he believes Death will not find him. The merchant then goes to the marketplace and finds Death, and asks why she made the threatening gesture. She replies, “That was not a threatening gesture, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see your servant in Baghdad, for I have an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.”
Why are they still using “black boxes”? Wouldn’t it make more sense to have planes send telemetry data to someplace on the ground or in space. Planes are constantly in touch with the GPS system, aren’t they?
Another question: Why is it they can send color television pictures from space, but for the audio, they use something that sounds like a $6.00 walkie-talkie? In fact, why do airliners use the same kind of $6.00 walkie-talkies?
