Not to mention that most of the real people who weren't on the plane were not only played by "unknowns," they were played by the actual real people who

Far from that being a stunt, I found it a fantastic casting decision.
In the director's commentary, he points out that a wonderful alchemy occurred between the actors and non-actors ... in that the "non-professionals" started performing more like professional actors, and the professional actors started performing more like real people.
