CURRENT INCIDENT ABOUT AIR INDIA PLANE CRASH, KOZHIKODE, KERALA

 


Air India Plane Crash,  Black box will lift the curtain due to the accident 

                  In Kerala, 17 people, including both pilots, were killed and about 130 passengers were reported injured when an Air India aircraft crashed from the runway. The plane split into two pieces after the accident. A total of 191 people were on board the aircraft. 

                  According to the information the aircraft slipped due to heavy rain, but the black box will prove to be important in this episode. That is, the real cause of the plane crash will be known from the black box itself.

                  It is possible that there was a technical fault in the aircraft, which caused it. You will get information about this from the black box itself. Discussion about the black box intensifies after every plane crash. In this case, let us know about Black box. 

                The black box is also known as the 'flight data recorder'. An airplane black box or flight data recorder is a device that records all the movements of an airplane during a flight.The black box is usually placed at the rear of the aircraft from a security point of view. The box is made of titanium metal and is sealed in a box made of titanium, so that it does not suffer much damage by falling into the ground or sea from a height.

 History of black box

                 In the year 1953-54, in view of the increasing air accidents, it was thought to develop a device which could give information about the causes of aircraft accidents and also help to protect the aircraft from accidents. The 'black box' was invented for this. Earlier it was known as 'Red Egg' due to Lal. In the early days, its inner walls were painted black. Probably therefore it is known as 'black box'.

The black box consists of two separate boxes:

1. Flight data recorder: - This box contains information about direction, altitude, fuel, speed, movement, cabin temperature etc. This box holds information on 88 types of data, including approximately such, for more than 25 hours. This box can tolerate a temperature of about 11,000 ° C for one hour and 260 ° C for 10 hours. These boxes are colored red or pink, so that they can be easily found.

2. Cockpit Voice Recorder: - This box records the sound of the airplane during the last two hours. It records the sound of the engine, emergency alarm, cabin and cockpit to estimate the position of the aircraft before any accident.

How the black box works:

             As we have already mentioned, the black box is made of a strong metal. It can work for 30 days without electricity. It can tolerate temperatures of 11,000 ° C for up to an hour. If this box falls on some place, it makes a beep sound every second for 30 consecutive days.This makes it easy to find. This sound can be detected from a distance of about 2-3 kilo meters. An interesting fact regarding the black box is that it can also indicate a depth of 14,000 feet in the sea. However, a black box does not show a clear picture of any plane crash. Many times it is not even available, but one thing is certain that it plays an important role in the investigation of plane accidents.
