QUESTION:

Why are planes not fitted with video recording systems? Indeed, why aren't airports fitted with such systems?

The cost of digital video has fallen vastly and storage capacities are huge...

Buses, taxis etc are fitted with such systems...why not large planes/large airports?

(Such a system would go a long way to explaining what happened here, the London 777 crash, Athens crash etc...etc. and whilst they often wouldn't provide conclusive proof it'd certainly point investigators in the right direction..)
