This is just bizarre. What do you think? Would you want to watch a live broadcast of an emegency landing of a your own flight? I'm leaning toward saying yes. It would be pretty surreal, but having more information definately helps.

However, I think it was because the passengers had the information that they were calm and in good spirits. they knew what was going on and although it was dangerous, they knew they had a good chance of surviving.
