Giving you 'a very good idea' doesn't mean you know why. As mentioned, it's your hypothesis.

And I would agree with it wholeheartedly if you had data points which suggested the OP looked or acted different than the other passengers. But you don't. You're making several assumptions. You're actually making about the same number of assumptions as my exaggerated random number generator suggestion. So Occam's Razor really doesn't apply there, based on the data at hand - which isn't much.

I'm sure we can agree that if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's likely a duck. Unfortunately, we don't know the appearance or vocal characteristics of this particular bird. We just know it was trying to get airborne
