They weren't paying customers, they were journos and trade folks. It was all a show-off for a (then) very new aircraft type with radical technology and a lot of French industry / pride at stake. Whole thing was badly planned and poorly executed. One of the recommendations of the acciddent report was:
Passengers should be banned from all demonstration flights
Two of the dead were children. The third was a woman went back to help them. It says a lot about human nature in a panic situation...Passengers should be banned from all demonstration flights
wiki says:
"Of 136 people on board, three did not escape. One was a handicapped boy in seat 4F who was unable to move. Another was a girl in seat 8C, who was unable to remove her seatbelt (her younger brother had removed his own seatbelt but was carried away by the rush of people before he could help his sister). The third was a woman who had reached the front door and then returned to help the girl. Thirty-four passengers required hospitalization for injuries and burns. Both pilots received minor head injuries and also suffered from smoke inhalation and shock"
