After looking at some videos taken by passengers, it was exactly as you describe. Except in some, there were drunken brawls. I cannot think of anything more hellish than being cooped up with a bunch of drunk people. Unless you add Noro to the chaos...

This movie had me laughing harder than any other I've watched for awhile... but it's also gross.
