SURELY THE TIME HAS NOW COME TO HAVE PERMANENT VIDEO RECORDING OF AIRCRAFT MOVEMENTS, ESPECIALLY THE ACTIVE RUNWAY(S), AT ALL MAJOR AIRPORTS.
IT SEEMS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE IN THE 21ST CENTURY THAT INVESTIGATORS ARE STILL TRYING TO DETERMINE (FROM TIRE TRACKS) WHERE THE A/C TOUCHED DOWN.
THIS WOULD NOT ONLY HAVE EXPEDITED INVESTIGATION OF THE YYZ ACCIDENT BUT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR HELP IN THE CDG CONCORDE CRASH.
I APPRECIATE THAT THIS WOULD NOT ALWAYS PROVIDE PERFECT INFORMATION DUE TO METEROLOGICAL FACTORS SUCH AS FOG, BUT IT WOULD SURELY BE A MASSIVE ADVANCE OVER WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
