Improving aviation accident research through the use of video

The investigation and analysis of aviation accidents is a critical aspect of aviation safety and a major tool for aviation system improvement. The National Transportation Safety Board is charged with the responsibility of determining the probable cause of aviation accidents, identifying contributing factors, and making recommendations for changes to equipment or procedures as a result of their investigations. The intent is to identify what went wrong and prevent its recurrence -- to learn from the errors of others and, thus, save lives and property.
