I don't get all this posts defending the (and I want to fully repeat the articles original wording) STUPID behavior of these people.
Yes agreed, if it really didn't delay no blame for causing any loss of life no blame should have been put on them, media coming too quick to lurid headlines is a common bad thing, bad journalism, true.
But this does not matter at all here WTF? Even if this behavior did not cause any death, or delay, it is just outright stupid.
It still risked other passenger's lives (no one can judge in this situation by "looking at the aisle" if it is save trying to get your luggage or not),
it still risked hurting other people during evacuation,
it still risked damaging the slide,
it still ignored the safety instructions and the stewardess shouting at the people to get the fuck out,
it still just is an ultra egoistic asshole move trying to save your belongings.
And btw I also don't get the defense of "people act irrationally or apathetically in disasters". Your most basic natural instinct is to flee a life endangering situation, the second thing that can happen is an apathetic reaction, but apathetic reaction != trying to save your belongings while a plane is burning. Anyone who tries to fetch and carry their luggage while the stewardess is shouting at you to get out is just trying to save their very belongings, and not reacting irrational or apathetic. Unfortunately stupidity and egoism is also human nature, but still it is just this and not irrationality or apathy, this behavior is not defendable and just outright stupid.
I also don't get the downplay of "people just carrying a purse"... please watch the footage, you can see a roll-aboard.
