Ocean Depth and the Malaysian 370 Black Box

The Washington Post has created one of the most interesting graphics I’ve seen. It concerns the depth of the ocean and the signal from the black box of Malaysian Airlines flight 370. It is a tragic story and we all hope that answers can be found. An Australian navy vessel has detected what they believe to be the black box at an enormous depth in the Indian Ocean. The depth at which the wreckage of the plane may be resting is staggering. Scroll away.
