Ok, let's assume the controller knows there's an accident AND they have
the
time and free mind capacity to say it on the frequency.


What's "free mind capacity"?



Then what?


Then pilots have an idea how long the airport will be closed.



For that
info to be useful, you'd have to know how long it's going to take to clear
up. I'd wager the controllers did not know that.


That info gives pilots of average or better intelligence an idea of how long
the airport will be closed. Then they can decide if they're better off
continuing to hold or diverting to another airport and coming back later.
