Video shows plane's moment of impact at SFO
The cost of minimal useful equipment to accomplish that task at every international airport in the US (~150) would be less than the cost of a single 777 empty ($300MM). The value of that footage? I don't know, but it sounds like a bargain to me.

They have something like this already, it's called a Flight Data Recorder

Sarcasm that is made unambiguous is not sarcasm.

Do they record videos too ? I don't think so.

Modern planes have multiple video cameras attached to them, I'm not sure if they are recorded, though. They help with taxing.
