Many Ghanaians may have heard about a "black box" for the first time following the fatal helicopter crash at Adansi Sikaman, which claimed the lives of eight high-ranking government officials and Ghana Armed Forces personnel.
For starters, the black box is not actually black, as the name suggests.
It is a small, orange-colored metallic device that records and stores flight data and cockpit audio from helicopters and airplanes.
The black box plays a crucial role in facilitating investigations when incidents such as crashes or accidents occur.
