The end of the snopes acount: However, in an account attributed to a chaplain who was originally slated to fly on Flight 297 (but had arrived late and missed the initial boarding), the writer says another passenger who left the plane before its eventual take-off told him that, as stated in the original account reproduced above, the incident indeed involved more than the single passenger mentioned by AirTran representatives and news reports: 12 men of Middle Eastern appearance stood up and began dancing and singing in an Arabic dialect. They refused to be seated when directed to do so by the flight attendants. Then, the singing stopped and some of the men took out their cell phones and began taking pictures of the other individual passengers. Again, the men were ordered to be seated by the flight crew and refused while continuing to take their pictures. Next, the de-boarded passenger related that a few of the men gestured [using their fingers] as imaginary guns, indicating with their triggering action that they would shoot the people on the plane.
