It would be insaner if they hook up the black box to discover that not only had it had been recording for the last 12 years until just last week, but that it showed the plane had been flying in a figure eight pattern the whole time (for the 12 years until last week).

I call dibs on the copyright

Edit 2. The black box recorded 1,000 years of flight data. Working title: The Twelve-Year Millennium. ©

The plane went through a wormhole like in Contact.
