Emergency landing televised on JetBlue flight

Ok, this would fairly suck. But I suppose it introduces an interesting question: if you were a passenger, would you want to watch news coverage of your own flight? One the one hand, you might appreciate the ability to learn as much information as possible. On the other, we're talking about the 24-hour news channels here -- not exactly a great resource for real information.

Is anyone else reminded of that scene in Airplane! where two TV news talking heads do a "Point/Counterpoint"? "Shanna, they bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say, let 'em crash!"
