n storing a picture of every mail piece or package that goes through USPS
Video is way more then still images and that's just recording and storing, live streaming the data from anywhere in world would be a fortune and would demand a whole new infrastructure.
Why is it that in the year 2015, there is no live video of every operating room being transmitted (and recorded) to a medical malpractice investigator base? Wouldn't this end all speculation about what happened, and give a clear picture?Or insert ANY profession where there is a possibility of human mess-ups (namely any profession involving humans).Do you have any idea how much data that would take to record, transmit, and store from every cockpit in the air?
Meh. Poor comparison. How often do you hear of surgeons deliberately killing patients? How often is malpractice deliberate? A video would only be of benefit to an ambulance-chasing lawyer. Sounds like it would cause more damage than good.If we had live video feeds of aircraft cockpits, we would know exactly what happened in the last three air disasters.
How often is a plane crash the result of deliberate action by the pilot?Planes have a hard enough time maintaining communication over some parts of the Atlantic in bad weather. Live streaming video would take making entirely new infrastructure...
And what if we had video footage confirming without a doubt that the co-pilot intentionally took down the plane, how would that help us?We'd be informed, but who said this guy wouldn't have passed their psych screening?
Everyone could sue claiming they should have had better test.
אינה דומה שמיעה לראיהLet's face it, do we really know with absolute certainty that the co-pilot deliberately crashed the plane, or are we going with this theory because it makes the most sense based on the audio recording?A video can not only reveal WHAT happened, but it can also reveal HOW and sometimes WHY.
So each pilot gets an Ipad?
I wonder how http://www.flightradar24.com/ gets their data?
Funny I mentioned them and now (yesterday, actually) flightradar24 has given evidence to the authorities showing the plane went into auto-descent to 100 feet via autopilot.
I was actually wondering, how could FlightRadar now the autopilot was set to 100 ft? The ADS-B broadcasts the autopilot settings?
No, but if they recorded a consistent pattern (dropping x feet every x minutes) then it would seem to be auto-pilot. The question is what the guy was doing/thinking at the time...
The "black box" orange box knows exactly what settings the A/P was set and changed too.
