What a terrible spot to be trapped. Pure psychological terror.

I would hope the crew wouldnt mention that tidbit to the passengers till after they got rolling again.

Furniture salesman Mark Sullivan was among the passengers who realized that members of the Donner party had frozen to death nearby a century earlier. “People talked about it quite a bit,”

Looks like the passengers figured it out on their own
