Carry-On Craziness
Thank you Patrick for commenting on what I too noticed when I saw those initial pictures with the passengers running from the plane. They were completely laden down with their carry-on!! Although I was initially amazed that everyone survived, I became even more so when I realized many passengers had their carry-on with them. I don't know if it was the training of the flight crew or pure luck or both that ensured everyone exited the plane safely while clutching their valuables, but I do know that if I were in the same situation, I would not have stopped to take time to remove my laptop or whatever. Those things can be replaced. The same cannot be said for your life.
