Do investigators examine pax phones and cameras?
In recent years it has become so much common that almost every passenger has a portable electronic device capable of recording videos, that you can see a lot of videos on the internet from a passenger point of view of takeoffs and landings. Given that not everyone uploads their videos, we can assume there are more recordings taking place.
I can't help but think that there is good reason to expect that some passenger was filming the landing.
My question is, do any of you know how are recovery team procedures these days about electronic devices?
It's a long shot, but retrieving all electronic devices, especially cell phones and cameras, and trying to retrieve its memory, in the hopes of finding a recorded video from an incident/accident, would provide valuable information for the investigation.
Has it been done before? Or at least, are there legal implications that would hamper its use in the benefit of aviation safety?
