(...) pointed out that pictures from the vertical fin mounted camera suggested a fluid leak from the left hand wing
What would be the cost of fitting two extra cameras for the crew to have a visual on the engines at any time ?

Clearly they where not immediately aware of what was happening and even dispatching someone in the cabin did not give comprehensive information about the situation.

Given the size of the 380 the relative weight & cost would be minimal.

Thoughts ?
