was alpizar in the plane?

btw - Time's "I Never Heard the Word 'Bomb'" article will get a stack of coverage - deservedly so - but this stuck out:
"McAlhany described Alpizar as carrying a big backpack and wearing a fanny pack in front. He says it would have been impossible for Alpizar to lie flat on the floor of the plane, as marshals ordered him to do, with the fanny pack on. "You can't get on the ground with a fanny pack," he says. "You have to move it to the side."

By the time Alpizar made it to the front of the airplane, the crew had ordered the rest of the passengers to get down between the seats. "I didn't see him get shot," he says. "They kept telling me to get down. I heard about five shots.""
correct me off im wrong, but didnt the guy get shot when he was already on the tarmac? i havent been following the story closely, but i thought the guy didnt get murdered til he was outside (and not a safety risk). a couple of times during the day i thought that i had noticed that some stories seemed to ignore the fact that he was shot outside - but im starting to consider that there is actually a 'conspiracy' to fuzzify the facts.

look at the phrasiology in the TIme piece:
"impossible for Alpizar to lie flat on the floor of the plane"
and
"he made it to the front of the airplane"
but never to they mention that the murder took place outside in relative safety (for everyone else)

maybe im confused about it and the shooting actually occurred in the plane.
