Dr Gloom 19735 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 3 minutes ago, Rayvin said: I feel like we're arguing two different things now. Morally, this entire thing is reprehensible and the US are at least as bad as Soleimani ever was. The plane crash is a tragedy and the whole affair is a pathetic display. But politically, for Trump and even the US, this looks like a win. He won't care about that plane, it doesn't hurt him. If anything it just makes the Iranians look worse. what's a hundred odd dead civilians between friends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4949 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Just now, Dr Gloom said: what's a hundred odd dead civilians between friends? Indeed. See my posts in the other thread for what I think about the US in all this, but i guarantee you that they don't give a shit about this plane as far as political consequences go.

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Why aren't flights sending black box data wirelessly to a server somewhere? Surely it's not beyond current technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I find the latter hard to believe) Chemical Ali all over again? I thought this was a little far fetched. Still as long as Iranian nationals believe it hopefully they can call it quits. Still I doubt it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes no sense. About as much sense as the suggestion why not build the plane out of the same stuff as the black box...... If you stream out to a satellite the data could be stored there or forwarded on. Or you would just need a wire to come out of it attached to a transmitter for a belt and braces approach. I think its technically possible to live stream but would require a fuck ton of bandwidth with thousands of planes airborne at any one time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
