Considering there appear to have been no fatalities and no serious injuries, no harm in injecting a little levity into the situation. Humour is how humans cope with extreme circumstances, and the less extreme, the sooner the humour is appropriate.
Another very human reaction is sorrow for loss of property. I can't tell you how glad I would be to be walking away from a plane going down with myself all in one piece. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't later go "oh dagnabbit, now I have to get a new iPod D:". Although being the optimist that I am, I'd be more likely to phrase it as "yay, now I can get an orange iPod!".
