It's not clear exactly what caused that passenger to have a heart attack, as is widely believed -- certainly the in-flight upset event, but from the witness' description it does not seem that he was standing in a queue for the lavatories (as many have speculated).
Moreover, it is really something to hear that all the SQ crew members were injured or otherwise hurt --- and yet they were all still working, still trying to care for the passengers. Now that's heroic and I do not use the term lightly.
That is reinforced by this other passenger's account:

Moreover it seems that the uninjured passengers on the relief flight were all given $1,000 compensation.
Not saying crew werent working as hard as they were, or suggesting they are trying out an insurance scam, but given what happened it would be the right thing to all get checked up and logged as injured for insurance purposes - it IS their career. 12 of them managed to fly back the same night so as much as they were injured, they weren't TOO hurt. Hope the other 6 gets well soon.
