2:31Now Playing"Another plane goes missing halfway across the globe. Families of the 162 passengers on board praying for their safe return, but hope is fleeting. Mystery builds as the cause behind why it went missing without warning brings many of us back to MH-370, which dominated one cable network’s schedule for the better part of two months back in the spring after it went missing, only never to be found.
That network — CNN — saw considerable ratings gains from its initial coverage of MH370 until the tone went from sober to surreal as the hours became harder to fill without any real news to report. And now we’re seeing the opening act around the latest missing plane — AsiaAir Flight QZ8501 out of Indonesia — and it’s much like watching your typical movie sequel: Same formula, similar storyline, and similar hopes we see in Hollywood that the audience will come back for more. Think The Hangover and The Hangover II in terms of mirrored presentation.
Sunday gave us a preview of what to expect until the mystery around the plane’s disappearance is solved: CNN’s State of the Union — which featured interviews with Texas Governor Rick Perry (R) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) — was bumped for plane coverage (those interviews can be seen online).
