OOOOOHHHHHHH,WOOOWWWW!
I am so
amazed
at the erudition shown, I could almost barf.
And, as usual, not as erudite as is needed for 100% accuracy. Below is the black box from Alaska Airlines Flight 261 as retrieved by the robotic arm in the foreground.
PLEASE NOTE:
as mentioned in a previous post, orange and white is often used in black boxes to provide a contrasting color scheme for easier underwater recognition. Water tends to wash out the colors. geometric shapes are thus the more easily recognized feature.
