I won't say proper prodedure wasn't followed (I don't know nearly enoug), but as a thought experiment it seems weird that they wouldn't try to get all the passengers organized for a count, and to aid in triage of more minor injuries.
I agree that no head count is a little odd. I was just defending the actions of the crew in general. The passengers were nearly unanimous in their praise of the crew.
