Black box inventor David Warren dies at 85
July 22nd, 2010
THE TERRITORY-born inventor of the black box flight recorder has died.
David Warren died, aged 85, at a Melbourne nursing home on Monday.
He was involved in investigating the crash in 1953 of the world's first commercial jet airliner, the Comet, as it was en route
to Australia.
The challenge of determining the causes of the accident led him to the idea of a recording device that could withstand a crash
where there were no survivors and no witnesses.
Dr Warren was born in 1925 at a mission station on remote Groote Eylandt in far northern Australia.
He was the first European child born on the island in the Gulf of Carpentaria.
