I find it hard to believe that the passengers were patiently, quietly sitting in the passenger compartment. I could easily immagine screaming, crying, and outright chaos.
It might have been a stressful situation with lots of shouting, but I believe one of the earlier reports mentioned that everyone was in their seats and strapped in, when the bodies were recovered. It doesn't appear that anyone was moving around and out of their seats.
