All of this speculation could have been resolved by one wide angle camera.
Not really. I have a webcam on my hangar, and it's configured to upload one still image to Squawk 7700 's FTP server every 10 minutes. You're hinting at live streaming, which uses a lot of bandwidth for a once in a blue moon event. The other option for accident-investigation would be a 4K security camera or similar with a NVR on-site, but who'd pay for it? Universal ADS-B/EC devices with a receiver at each airport would be a better option as they'd provide benefits beyond the airport boundary.
