VOYAGE DATA RECORDER & BLACK BOX | Why are they orange?

🟥SUBJECT: WHY ORANGE?
Q: Good day sir, may I just ask. Why is the VDR of a ship colored orange? Also, why is the black box of a plane, colored orange?"
ANS: The "black box" of a plane and a ship's VDR (Voyage Data Recorder) are actually colored bright orange to make them easier to find after an accident. Originally, black boxes are actually "black" but they are difficult to obtain on a wreckage. The bright orange color stands out in various environments, whether underwater or among burning wreckage, making it more visible to search teams.
