Back around 1990 the Casualty series postponed an edition which showed an airliner crash (just post Kegworth) It had been filmed pre-Kegworth and when it finally came out had some nasty similarities. The Roughnecks series showed a helicopter incident very similar to one that nearly turned me into a floating organ donor (filmed pre my incident, shown post it), it is entertainment, trouble is someone, somewhere will be upset by it, no matter what the film makers make. My great uncle was a deck officer on the Titanic, I enjoyed the film(s) and have read all the books, maybe I'm just an unfeeling git, but, if it is accurately filmed, with knowledge and realism then I can't/won't complain, if its' crap I'll be the first reaching for keyboard and an e-mail to the complaints dept. I haven't seen this one, I can't stand Emmerdallas!
