Reviewer's Note: 

The passengers that are not US citizens have numbers, such as 5-2605 or 5-2605, 
written in the language coloumn. This means that they were tested for their reading ability. 
The first number represents a number for a certain language, the other numbers are a 
number for a certain sentence.
