Video would definitively show whether either pilot moved these switches or if some other mechanism caused the movement.
The aviation industry has consistently resisted cockpit video recording despite decades of available technology.

Current audio captured the pilots' denials, but without visual confirmation we may never be able to definitively determine who turned the engines off.

- UltraSane 1y agoWhich claim? It is self-evident that video footage would show if a pilot turned the engines off intentionally or accidentally. The pilot's union opposes cockpit video recording for silly reasons. https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/air-transport/2024-05-01/cockpit-video-recorder-mandates-remain-elusive https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/air-transport/2024-0...
