    I doubt that people were taking the time to film random planes taking off in the camcorder era before video sites with large enough niche audiences for that content existed

      Ditto. People growing up now can't imagine a world where we don't all have a camera in our pockets. Camcorders were big and bulky back then. People didn't just carry them around with them all the time in the hopes of catching something extraordinary.

      Yeah I don't believe that flights are regularly recorded taking off, so that's not really weird. There should be security footage of the passengers boarding though.
