An idea for saving 'the black box'
The flight recorder known as "the black box" at times is hard to recover after a plane crashes, especially when in the ocean or the latest crash into the Alps.
Why don't the airlines put black boxes in the airports? One in the departing airport another in the arrival airport.
The data can be transmitted when a plane takes off. When the plane reaches halfway to destination, transmit the data to the black box at the arrival airport black box.
NASA has communications to outer space. I'm sure Horizon can develop transmitters and receivers to do the job.
They may want to add an alert alarm on the box in case of trouble.
