Sorry old chap, give or take the vagaries of recordings, I believe the opposite is true of witness evidence vs recordings.
OAP
In many cases I would agree with you re witnesses v videos but in this instance I have yet to see a video which shows a view far back enough from the aircraft to take in enough of the surroundings to tell the story. Those of us who witnessed the incident with a history of watching aircraft and particularly displays, know just how close this was to an accident. It would be interesting if a video taken from the pier surfaces as this would provide an unobstructed view with good reference points.
