Well some passengers did join in once the good guy took the initial action.
And I agree that the good guy was luck. Some of the passengers were too.
The initial move the good guy used, turning the gun in 90 degrees against the weak side of the wrist, is one of several disarms I've trained on in a number of classes. But one thing every instructor teaching disarms has said: "The bad guy will almost always get one shot off." So maybe the gun indeed wasn't loaded or was non-functional.
