I hope this is the kick in the ass that the government needs to mandate modern flight recorder capabilities. You can fit a camera in a shirt button or glasses frames these days so flight data recorders need to include video. In the cockpit and outside of the cockpit door at a minimum. It doesn't have to be 4k living color with 3d audio, just piece of shit run of the mill 240p cctv video that compresses well. You can fit a flights word of that on magnetic media no problem. In fact, why not stream it 100% along with the transponder blip? Yes I'm aware of how much air traffic there is. It's BS that they have to now sit there with headphones with their eyes closed like WW2 code breakers while they pick out individual voices when video would instantly reveal so much at a glance.
