@hb1338 Seems like every bit of information a pilot may be able to use when an event becomes a real issue, would be so beneficial, how could they object to a camera positioned where pilots can't see. But I guess with such complex instrumentation aboard now days, they don't feel the need. But when every loss of life no doubt costs airlines millions, a few objections would be ridiculous to take heed to.

So basically in this case, both pretty new engines failed. What sucks is how close they were to making it to the runway. Talk about fate. Thanks again. Watching this again, I guess the right engine is ok, but because these pilots have had experience with odors from different engines for different parts of the plane, they shut down the good engine and were using the bad left side engine. So,twas basically a mixed responsibility of bad engines and bad responses to the bad engine. You did say the vibration gauge was pinned in the high end. That should have been a warning to the pilots. None of the gauges in the right hand engine were out of normal. Another pilot error. I still say little rear view mirrors, showing the engines to the pilots may be beneficial. Still very sad.
