These cowards almost certainly grabbed some of the weaker passengers
and put knives to their throats, threatening the stronger passengers
that they'd kill unless they kept away.
IIRC, there was a two year old baby on on of the planes... This
doesn't make for a very pleasant scenerio, but that's the world we
live in today.
If we can get through this whole mess and end up with a decent society
in which our personal liberties are preserved and our quality of life
is still high, this will be a good trick.
