I remember the JetBlue aircraft that was having trouble getting its landing gear down. It struck me that they had live TV. So the passengers could watch live news video of their own plane trying to get the gear down.

Edit: Interesting tidbit from the Wikipedia page:

"Screenwriter Zach Dean was also on the plane, and while contemplating his mortality resolved to write a script about mortality (which eventually became the film Deadfall)."
