Watching your own drama unfold on TV

Jetblue airliners have satellite television monitors installed in the backs of seats. That made for a surreal experience for the passengers of a crippled Jetblue airliner. For three hours, they watched TV news reports of their plight as it unfolded. Fortunately the plane touched down safely. Just imagine if the damage had been more severe and passengers learned from CNN that they were doomed?
