Maybe. Maybe not. I suspect from what I have heard that there is already enough information from this incident.

Without proper control, yes. However, I have always been happy that any of the FDR and CVR information on aeroplanes that I have flown would
always be properly handled. The Accident Investigators that would have dealt with it would never have made any actual CVR recordings available to the public and only transcripts of the very relevant parts of the recordings pertinent to an actual incident would ever be made public in the incident report. (The Union involved in the very early days ensured that this would be the case and the Accident Investigators
are honouring that.) I don't see how that can be met with video recordings. (How do you get a 'transcript' of a video recording, etc.?) I'm not saying it's impossible, but I am saying that it will be a
lot more difficult to gain acceptance.
Especially keeping irrelevant bits away from the idiot public and idiot media. And having seen some of the comments that are on here reinforces my opinions in my previous sentence.
