Well call me old fashioned but just what exactly is a low quality video camera pointing at some blurry instruments going to do to improve safety. F all I suspect. This may even be a knee-jerk response to the events of Sept 11th, but I don't think a video is going to tell us any more than we can already resonably deduce, nor will it prevent further occurences. If you want to do something meaningful for safety why not install Quick Access Recorders like BA but crash proof them? I think having a trace of up to 500 variable and 1500 discrete parameters post-acciednt would be a lot more useful to the investigators than a grainy videotape.
