There are multiple reasons for this behavior Most of these reasons are listed in these set of storified tweets https://storify.com/AnonDesi/conversation-with-peegeekay-madnavin-antaryaami-ga https://storify.com/AnonDesi/conversation-with-peegeekay-mad... I urge everyone to please read the tweets in the link I posted, as it gives you a totally different perspective as to why people behaved this way. One other reason, is the fact that a plane flying from India is filled with people who speak at least 10 to 15 different languages (native langauge). Its possible that those who didnt get the passenger safety instructions in the language they are comfortable with, just didn't even know what to do under such distress!
