Selfish me me me attitudes or they had no idea how bad it was i know i could they not know
Just a guess.....you couldn’t evacuate but so quickly anyway...you’re crammed into the aisle...not moving...why not grab your bag - especially if it contains a laptop with key info, etc. Again, just a theory...I was not there and thank God have never been in that situation.
If there is time to grab your bag, you grab your bag
I dont see why anyone is making it an issue
Asian culture related?
Don’t know.
Factor into this, the fact that it takes a number of people a fair amount of time to get out the exits. While waiting, the natural response based upon exiting a plane dozens of times is to stand up and grab your bag.
To try and get people to leave their bags is counter to the training that they have received and acted upon dozens to hundreds of times on prior flights.
People do weird things in life or death stress situations. Especially if its their first time in such a situation. Don’t expect anyone to act rationally in times like that.
That's all I can figure.
If it was an orderly evacuation, that took a few minutes for people to proceed in line to go down the slides, I bet that is probably what happened.
Looking at the picture from inside the cabin, the overhead bins may have popped open on impact and spilled their carryons.
because they are conditioned sheep?
When I traveled my carry on contained everything I needed to do my job as well as a change of clothes. I’m still not sure I’d grab it but I guess if I had the time why not.
Stupid ain't the word for that...or this.
You play like you practice. Have these passengers ever practiced an emergency evacuation where they are taught to NOT take their bag? No. Have they practiced normal evacuations (i.e. normal exiting of planes) where they DO take their bags. Yes.
If you want this not to happen you’d have to train people do behave in a particular way it seems to me. And I don’t see a practical way to accomplish this.
This has been common in air disasters. People operate unthinking on automatic. When they get up they’re trained to pick up their baggage. I only recall one stewardess addressing this in her safety speech.
This is why I always try to sit in the exit row. In essence, people are unthinking automatons.
And they were probably staring at their cell phones as they slid down the emergency exit ramp.
Who knows how any one would react in an emergency? Besides that, isn’t it possible the bags got tossed into the aisles in an emergency landing?
Everybody doesn’t exit immediately - there’s a queue, and I’d probably grab my bag, too, if I had a chance to without delaying the evacuation.
On the same line of thinking, how many of those passengers took a little longer doing something—getting out of their seats, moving through the cabins, sliding down the ramps or otherwise exiting the planes, or even evacuating the area afterwards because they were texting, talking, or videoing something on their phones?
If I were the King of Airlines carry on luggage would be banned.
