Airbus’ New Black Boxes Will Eject From Crashing Planes, So They’re Easier to Find

It’s been more than three years since Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 vanished, and after spending $150 million and scouring a huge chunk of the Indian Ocean, the international search effort has turned up just a few scraps of metal. It now seems likely investigators will never find the bulk of the wreckage nor the Boeing 777’s black boxes, and as a result will never really know why it went down, or how to prevent it happening again.
