Security camera footage accessed and verified by the Associated Press showed Air India flight 171 bound for London taking off and crashing into a medical college in the northwestern city of Ahmedabad on Thursday, killing more than 180 people in one of India's worst airline disasters in decades.
I don’t know for sure, but I imagine all airports have a bunch of cameras. To me it looks like it was a wider shot and someone went and focused on it through the NVR.
Is it common for CCTV to track and follow all planes as they take off like the camera in this video seems to be?
I think that’s editing, rather than something the camera did.
You can see a mouse cursor in the video. Someone is manually zooming in and following the plane, likely while reviewing the footage.
Ah, OK yeah that makes sense.
