This video is amazing but it also got me thinking, especially after the atr crash today. I noticed about halfway through that there is a camera mounted outside on the tail allowing passengers to view the takeoff roll and in flight.

I thought this novel idea was discarded after the disastrous use of it on American Airlines flight 191 that allowed the passengers a horrifying cockpit view of their last seconds before crashing into a hanger?

After seeing todays crash of the atr, I'm sorry I know it's rare but it's not something I would want to have the potential of passengers to see. Is there some kind of passenger camera auto disconnect in the airbus if there were to be a incident?
