> Yes, the cameras would not have helped here, but it dorsn’t mean they are useless in general.

I think that statement needs the support of actual evidence. Air incident investigation agencies make detailed reports of the causes of crashes, with specific, targeted recommendations to help ensure that similar incidents don't recur.

If we haven't seen recommendations for cameras like that, then I think it's reasonable to assume that the actual experts here have determined that cameras would not be helpful.

FAA/EASA can dictate what equipment new airplans should/must have. And that is done in cooperation with the manufacturers. And manufacturers have zero incentives to add new equipment, airlines zero desire to do additional certifications for pilots.

It is not reasonable to assume anything.

Air crash investigators are not the experts on airplanes design.
