Provided that the use of audio and video recordings is rigidly controlled ONLY to be used by accident investigators then I have no objection to either. Simply make it a criminal offense for the operator to intentionally view or listen.
I agree. The cause of the recent SpaceShipTwo breakup was immediately and unambiguously evident because they had video of the pilot's actions. CVR and FDR data would not have been conclusive.
