While I like to think I'd have the nerve and wits to act, I sure don't think there's much sense in second-guessing those passengers on the spot.
I would have been huddled in the corner using the old lady as a shield.
But then when he wanted me to hand over money, I would have fought him to the death. :-) 
Never been in the situation. And, as has been said, I sure hope I would do something about it, but I don't know. But throwing blame around would be playing the armchair general.

Not everyone is going to be the hero that jumps a guy with a knife to save a stranger. You come up behind the guy, and all it takes is one quick jab in the wrong place and you're done.
The article writer wants to bring up a plane hijacking. The difference is that this guy wasn't yet threatening every single person there. Demanding money, sure, but not saying he intended to kill all of them. If he did, maybe they would have done something. Who knows? I'm sure they all thought it was a horrible thing to see someone brutally murdered in front of them, but I don't blame them for just trying to not be the next target.  
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
