EgyptAir Flight 990On page A3 of the Saturday, Aug 12 copy of the Toronto Star, there is an article about the EgyptAir tragedy. There is a full chronology of the cockpit events, which reinforces the suspicions that the co-pilot was suicidal. Problem is that from the sounds and words alone, it's difficult to know
for sure what was going on.
The last sentence of the article goes like this:
"In another indication of the [safety] board's thinking, the crash has resulted in just one formal recommendation thus far: that video cameras should be in the cockpits of commercial airliners, joining the microphones that have been standard for decades."
So my question is... is it reasonable to expect that the shaking and vibrations during takeoff, turbulence, and landing are sufficient to warrant the use of image-stabilized cameras, or would that be overkill?
Cheers,
Maggie
