A lot of the passengers being kids, I can understand because it was during one of their holiday times, so it was probably families taking kids on vacation.
As for frozen bodies, it's possible that the plane decompressed at a high altitude (which would explain why they died from lack of oxygen) it's also pretty damn cold at that altitude, once the plane decompresses, then the cabin temperature would drop dramatically.
I thought... and this is from reading the emergency pamphlets on the planes... that if the plane decompressed for whatever reason, the oxygen masks came down automatically, in both the cockpit and the main cabin.
