Any event that can be seen by an inertial observer should also be seen
by a uniformly accelerating observer sitting right next to him, passing
him, or coming to a momentary rest adjacent to him.
If that conflicts with whatever you just said, you should let me know.
Take a look at
http://micki.dk/diverse/accel.jpg - it shows 4 points
accelerating, which all could belong to the same rigid rod (David, you
may have a look too!).
The event at the red dot is never seen by any of these points.
