Sure, the Aeroflot Sukhoi crash a few years back.

Or last year's crash in Japan when an airliner hit a coast guard plane.

Ok, that is one, that's what I'm talking about.

It's a tower video, but we also see the operator moving the camera to catch it. I would expect to see cameras passively covering the entire runway, and not needing an operator to frame it. The reason is the operator may miss something else happening, or may be distracted at the critical moment.

I'm pretty sure it's a very wide angle camera and the operator is panning through the recording in a software viewer.
