Spot on. Those people were VERY lucky. It's wildly hard to disarm a person with a knife. The only part of the weapon you can safely grasp is firmly in their grasp and to disarm them you have to get up close and personal. One lucky swing and you have a couple minutes to live without drastic medical intervention. Those folks are wildly lucky.

I've seen video of a guy who bled out and lost consciousness in under 7 seconds. Himself and those around him didn't really grasp how severe it was before it was too late. One little cut in your throath and you're gone.
