A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia

Some planes and carriers have this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slzAcWff7nU
It costs money though, so you usually only see them on more premium carriers and larger planes.
I'm working from memory here, but I think there was an instance where there was a crash or some incident where people could see it happening on the cameras though... and it's not ideal having everyone in the plane panicking because they're going to die.
Add a delay and have it cut off if there's an emergency.
How long of a delay (too long and people complain) and how to cut if off without having to add another line to the pilot's checklists during troubleshooting?
Yup, there was a very well known case covered on an early episode of Mayday / Air Crash Investigation (like season 1) about this. A lot of people got to watch the same terrifying view as the pilots as their plane plummeted from the sky.
