With those high powered cameras you would think they wouldn't need to get so close.
Also, taking pictures of other photographers taking pictures. Nice.

"Black box" is just the colloquial term for flight recorder.

More importantly, it looks like the guy behind the boxes is wearing a suicide vest. Run away!

I've always heard that they originate during the WWII era and that they were black during that time so they didn't reflect at all. But that may be a bunch of horseshite
