What is the obsession with aviation accidents at CNN?

I realize they are trying to expand their niche with breaking news, but man, the network really jumps on any thing aviation-wise, another example today with a somewhat routine engine fire where there were emergency evacuations. Most injuries were minor, but the atmosphere was filled with words like "horrific, horrendous, nightmarish, extremely frightening", etc. Yes, this was a news story, but the amount of time and "breaking news" banners was over the top, IMO. And the anchors seemed lost. I looked up information on the airline faster than they could which is really a sorry commentary on CNN. BTW, that Malyasian 370, despite thousands of hours of coverage on CNN, is still lost.

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something, something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry
Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around

Got the bubble-headed bleach blonde who comes on at five
She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation, is the head dead yet
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a running bet
Get the widow on the set
We need dirty laundry
You don't really need to find out what's going on
You don't really want to know just how far it's gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff
Kick 'em all around

Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry
We can do the innuendo, we can dance and sing
When it's said and done we haven't told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry
