As the 50th captain falls toward the horizon, he always sees 49 ships in front of him... in principle! As the previous ships near the black hole, they appear to our captain ever more redshifted and faint. So in practice, they fade to invisibility.
As he approaches the event horizon himself, do their images get brighter and less redshifted, or not?
What happens after he crosses the horizon? Can he see them better then?
I'm not sure. I could figure it out with some calculations, but I'm too busy today.
There is a real shortage of good videos showing different black hole scenarios.

But we're probably all too busy! So I raise this scenario merely as an example of the kind of thing that someday should treat in a video someday!
