1 cubic meter of helium only lifts about 1kg of weight. So unless the pressure vessel, combined with the amount of helium weighs in at less than 1kg(2.2 pounds) It ain't going anywhere.

And what's the deal with the black box? If it can't be destroyed why don't they just make the plane out of the same material?

They don't have enough of it. They have to mine it from active volcanoes so it's too dangerous to get enough for a whole plane.

they should make planes out of solid helium, shit will never crash

If you want the tanks to float they can. That is kinda easy - Expensive to make tanks however - Carbon fiber and other materials - But really now why a floating tank? Your head will run into it as a breeze comes through a work space. No need for floating shit you head going hit.

@687,790 (Syntax)Kinda makes you think about the Hindenburg. They say the hydrogen caused the fire, but what happens when hydrogen meets oxygen? H2O. And what does H2O do to fire again? Extinguishes it.
So how could an airship full of hydrogen burn? The hydrogen would have turned into water upon contact with air.

Damn - Back from Taco Tuesday and rare I can do it and drink Margaritas yet this time I could - Cannot drink when doing space craft work but can drink when doing on the ground cell work
Hummmmmm good question and hell I have always assumed as in makes an ass out of you and me - That it was a foregone conclusion why the Hindenburg burned - Quick LookC
Multi-theories and I read one and only one of the many - Liked it cause its NASA work
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindenburg_disaster#Fire.27s_initial_fuel
And Yes I see Mythbusters disagrees but does add ''usefuel' info
