I am post #111_ on this incident. We all pretty well know what happened. The pilots were qualified on type, high-time hours wise, had flown to KSFO before, and had a varied experience operating in and out of airports globally.
Clearly a new debate on a different topic has evolved, Nothing new is being added on the topic of this thread. Enough already. Perhaps a new thread about mandatory installation of cameras in the cockpit and on the nose cone of airliners? No more visual approaches to complex high traffic airliner-only airports? A mere suggestion.
BluSdUp : Many jobs now have cameras monitoring full-time what the employee does. Recently in Canada, a heavy-haul (semi) truck (articulated lorry) allegedly blew through a STOP sign, colliding with a chartered motor coach (bus), killing 16 people, mostly youths. Proof is lacking. No video evidence. Should interior security video cameras and forward facing security video cameras be mandatory on all heavy (10-tonne) trucks and commercial buses (motor coaches)? Remember that even routine telephone calls of an air traffic control staffer are recorded and retained for at least one month unless otherwise specified. It has been such for decades.
The driver's compartment (cab) of many school buses are required to be video recorded. Not audio. No forward facing (dash cam) is presently required in most states/provinces.
Do you want the cameras on school bus drivers removed?
Bank tellers have continuous camera on them.
Is the job of an airline pilot less critical to public safety than a school bus driver?
Do you want the cameras on bank tellers removed?
What about cameras on police officers and their patrol cars?
Perhaps these are topics of a new thread.
