Fake Sealion
Having followed this thread from early on in this tragic incident I have been aware of the numerous uses of the word reported
Reported engine fire
Reported explosion
Reported smoke from engine
and so on.....
Is it now time to install a high quality CCTV system which records each and every departure at major airports. Such unambiguous evidence would surely permit in some cases, the AAIB teams to reach important conclusions very quickly and set in motion remedial action to enhance safety.
Speaking as an electronics bod, I couldn't agree more. These are simple, inexpensive, reliable and effective. Heck, even my local pub has 8 cameras continually recording video to hard disk for security reasons. The visual (and possibly aural too) evidence such a system could provide would be invaluable. And no reason any longer to rely on questionable eye witness reports.
Ditto for landings too btw.
