Asking because of Air India 171. Pilots and their unions are objecting to it because of “privacy” reasons. What do you think about it?

    I get what you’re saying, but how many thousands of cycles do you think the 787 has on it for this to be the first time they failed, and for two separate switches to fail seconds apart?

    Accident investigators are very good at what they do, and I will be willing to bet they will be able to narrow it down to an actual cause, even without a camera.

      I’ll wait for those very good accident investigators to release a conclusion before I speculate too much about how it happened. Maybe they’ll have a conclusive answer based on other evidence, but if they don’t, it’s easy to imagine how a video could have helped.
