- ben1040 13y agoSeriously. If you are ever posed with a situation where you must evacuate an aircraft, then GTFO and just leave your bags onboard. Do not do anything that could impede others' egress. You can get new stuff later, and the airline is likely to compensate you anyway (case in point, within days after US Air 1549 landed in the Hudson, the airline cut checks to the passengers to compensate for irretrievable belongings). You can't buy back your life or those of your fellow passengers.
- jlgaddis 13y agoWe don't know (yet) what happened. It could be that the passengers were standing around for a minute or two before being able to exit the plane. In the meantime, you're probably not hurting anything by reaching up into the overhead or under your feet and grabbing your bag.

- jevinskie 13y agoIt can get caught in a seat while exiting. That already happens all the time in normal deplaning situations, let alone an emergency situation!
- bestham 13y agoWho are we to judge the passengers of this flight for exiting the plane with luggage? We have no idea what was communicated to these passengers and what basis they are carrying the bags on. Maybe it's a bag containing important medication of some sort for another passenger?
