Only if there were no real engineers amongst the passengers. Such an opportunity would be utterly fantastic. "Is there an engineer in the ship ...?" SPARE cables ???! Cables and 5 generators as spare parts would be very fine. Even if they had no duct tape aboard ... (My doctor daughter recounts a tale told by her university supervisor. Flying somewhere they asked if there was a doctor aboard. He went to respond - but was beaten to the punch by about 70 emergency medicine specialists travelling to a conference ! :-). True story).
