Cloud computing & MH370

The MH370 Flight mystery has been one of the most intriguing mysteries of Aircraft crashes.

I wonder why the Cockpit Voice recorders are actually located in the rear and not duplicated in the wing as well.

MH370 is a perfect example which highlights the need to make redundant systems of recording failure or point until failure.
Of course the idea is to make Aviation safer with each Tragic incident and take the lessons from the same.

How hard is to make a Flight voice recorder redundant system which can be sending data to 3 different systems.
The Design complexity of a wing might increase but in Oceans as deep as the Atlantic & Pacific where vasts spans are not well covered.

the Wing might be surviving the deep lounge and might be locatable faster and easier as it may have a tendency to float in waters.

Also since we do have Satellites tracking data. We could even send the Cockpit voice via the satellites into a Cloud based solution up until the snapping of the devices.

Aviation system though has come leaps and bounds but still leaves much to be desired in terms of an answer to the victims & relatives of the MH370 disaster.

The Time Travellers Wife

The current logjam in the Indian Parliament appears so very bad.

but if you do look back a few years the same locks in Parliament functioning was seen albeit with a difference that the coalition parties used it as a whim to bend the Majority parties clout.

Thus the wipe out of the monsoon session this time is one sense good that it does not lead to any blackmailing by the coalition parties.


The Parlimentarians themselves dont seem to mind the delays as they get to do nothing and the Parliament itself today is reduced to the parking lot for Elderlies who wish to binge on the Tax Payers money.

its like the Time travellers wife who eternally benefits by visits by her husband from their early life.
Here the politicians make the (Rules and criticize them at a convenient time later). (The land acquisition bill & the Gandhi families resistance to its own creation)

It is a unique Time Machine where time stands still when the Parliamentarians across the spectrum of political parties enjoy the loot.
