The terrifying footage of a plane clipping a bridge in Taiwan and crashing into a river this week highlighted the popularity of "dashcams" that are capturing everything from crime to natural disasters through the windscreen. With the gadget catching on in parts of the world, particularly Russia and Asia's more developed nations like South Korea and Singapore, it was far from the first time an astonishing event has been captured in this way. Dashcams have been popular for years in South Korea where they are known as "black boxes" and range from simple front-pointing cams which cost around $150, to four-way cams that cover every angle and cost upwards of $400. Across the rest of Asia, the gadget's uptake is a mixed picture: fairly popular in affluent Hong Kong and Singapore, burgeoning sales in Australia and China, and relatively unknown elsewhere.
