Where's the video of the actual disruption? It's shocking that 15 people are recording the arrest, but none recorded the incident that led to the arrest.

The video of the arrest is in the tweet which of course seems to be a FT problem

I posted Tom's tweets. We can assume someone on that flight has a video (UA-style) and has not yet posted, or no one on AC 878 chose to take a video of the disturbance and only took of the arrest because that is the part that they could video or that interested them. But everyone here knows that.

The recurring problem on FT is quite different.

When events happen, most people tend to have their phones put away or are not recording video. When the plane lands and police get aboard, it offers advance opportunity for leering footage for those so inclined to record it.

How do we know that "15 people" recorded the arrest but that "none" recorded the disruption? Did anybody see evidence of more than two cameras?

I think @canadiancow meant 15.386 people, +/-3.305 people. (approximately)
Anyway, videos are surfacing showing the AC878 passenger in conflict with the crew, prior to the arrest.

I wonder how long it takes to repair that type of damage?
