100 plus years ago when the Tunguska "event" occured the first movies from the impact scene didn't occur for another 15 years. No sooner was yesterday's meteorite reported then YouTube was flooded with home/cam video. I expect that future cars will have cameras mounted front and rear...we'll all become our own "big brother".

Cheers...
