1. Probably not many, because I don't think they fly commercial
But assuming a scenario with some on board, I don't think it's possible to know. None of us really know how we would react in such a crisis. I'd like to think that I would have fought back, but really I can't discount the possibility that I would have been petrified with fear.

2. In a situation like that I don't think the size of your bank balance really enters the equation.
Rich or poor, some would panic, some would freeze, some would fight back.

John Jacob Astor, the richest Titanic passenger, no doubt could have insisted on a place in a lifeboat, but did not, and died.
