I was flying to Australia with a friend. They told us nothing the entire flight. When we got off the flight and every person interrogated for 3 hours as to why we were there, etc., they told us what had happened. I was to be in Australia for 2 months. All I wanted to do was go home, just to be with family and loved ones.
It doesn't matter, in a bad situation, all you want to do is be home, where everything is familiar where you feel safest.
