I'm surprised we don't keep video of all take offs and landings. Doesn't seem like it would be overly expensive.

- pintxo 8y agoContinuous video surveillance on 3-4 km of runway, from multiple angles, with night vision support, working 24/7? Might not be impossible, but surely not cheap.
- jdsully 8y agoI watch landing and takeoff videos frequently on YouTube from only one angle. The lenses are quite large and depth is very compressed but it’s sufficient to understand a lot of things relevant to an accident. Daytime only would still be a huge improvement.
- setquk 8y agoThere's enough plane spotters around Heathrow 24/7 that this is actually probably covered.
- rootusrootus 8y agoIt would take a heck of a long lens to have this on video from Heathrow.
- antsar 8y agoMight need a couple of mirrors too...
