I appreciate this is not java related, but the recent disappearance of Malaysian flight MH370, and similar air disasters, and disappearances, which result in hefty costs, lengthy searches, and investigations, have left me pondering about something.
Is there not a possibility of streaming live black box data (voice + flight data) on the cloud, in such a way that whenever such tragic events occur, there is readily available data to analyse and investigate?
Don't we have enough technologies and scientific research to enable this?
How much data per flight would that mean ?
What are the limitations?
Are there any security concerns?
Does the frequency at which these disasters occur outweigh the need of such technology?
How costly would that be - say per flight? Not long ago, I watched a video online where James Gosling was explaining how streaming data into the cloud from a robot in the sea, is something like a $1 per kilobyte in their liquid robotic project...
It would be interesting to know your thoughts on the subject...

Are you sure?

Back to the original question, though: I believe that in most cases the flight data recorders ("black boxes") are eventually found, so the need to stream the data online is probably less pressing than we'd imagine. Also, there are some particular points in this case: firstly, the Malaysia authorities seem to have reacted insufficiently, most information eventually came from other parties. More competent aviation agency might perform much better in similar cases. Secondly, someone on the plane has intentionally switched off all communication. Just not allowing this to happen would probably suffice to get much better information about the fate of the plane, without any need to transmit detailed flight information online.
