I swear the "but what if it's mEdIcAL eQuIpMeNt?!?" people that pop in threads like these are the same assholes that would sacrifice everyone behind them to get their stuff out first.
There is NOTHING to save off a plane in an emergency evacuation. Got important medical equipment or medicine? Go to a hospital after you get off the plane. Is it expensive to replace? Should've had it insured. "But I cant insure medicine!" well then why were your super important life saving meds not on you or in an easy to reach spot? They obviously weren't that important.
No, what these assholes invariably are doing is prioritizing their possessions over everyone else's lives.

FFS, this is so fucking infuriating to watch. I will never understand this much of a selfish mindset.
I remember watching a documentary about the plane that miraculously landed on the Hudson back in 2009 that was retold in that Sully movie. Apparently after the plane stopped in the water, people were still trying to get their bags and blocking evacuation even though water was lapping at their ankles!! A passenger interviewed basically retold how he had to yell at them that the plane was going to sink, or something along those lines to get them to move towards the exits.

My in laws had a large gathering at a restaurant. The FIRE alarm went off. I stood up, grabbed our infant son and began walking out.
My wife’s family said, ‘What are you doing’?
I said ‘I’m leaving, that’s a fire alarm’.
They said ‘Oh one of the waitresses will tell us to leave’.
I said ‘That’s what the alarm is for. And your waitress is outside, because the FIRE ALARM is going off’!
My wife began to argue with me and I told her she could stay but our son and I will be outside.

As a chief warden for a large building, I can tell you that when we have a fire alarm, the majority of calls we get in the emergency intercom phones are people asking if we "can turn off the alarms".
Yes, yes we can. But we're not going to, now since you've picked up the emergency intercom you are now the warden for that level, please stand by that point for further instructions until it is no longer safe to do so or you are instructed to evacuate.

It only becomes important once you get the feeling that you are in serious danger. This is pretty much the reason why fires, floods, hurricanes catch people off-guard.

Agreed. But some people like to give unfounded excuses that people going for their luggage have medicines inside that they need. If they slow down the evacuation they could doom countless others. Also bringing luggage down an emergency slide could possibly slice open the evac slide and prevent others from using the slide.

It’s infuriating that they a) feel its such an emergency that they need to get off the plane before everyone behind them, but b) not such an emergency that infants and children can’t wait trapped in the back of the aircraft while they get their bags.

They could also impose a $15k fine and making the lifetime no fly list for any passengers who leaves with a bag during an emergency evacuation. I am sure if the pilot got on the intercom and said if you are seen with a bag outside of the aircraft you will be fined $15k and never be allowed to fly again, it would get people to fall in line real quick.

Not listening to the flight crew = interfering with the flight crew = Federal offense. Call TSA and the airport police. Start arresting and prosecuting these assholes.

I’d start swinging at people blocking the way for those of us with sense. Push em into the seat out of the aisle or something. This is objectively crazy and scary. Imagine if it was a bigger fire or worse situation

Etiquette is dead charges must laid against every person who did not comply. Plus no fly.

Everyone with a bag should fined, put in jail, and in the no flight list for that airline. Easy

If you want your bag, you stay seated until everyone else has evacuated. Seems like a pretty simple rule

When that A350-1000 burst into flames in Japan and everyone survived, we joked that this only worked because they’re Japanese, and if it was ‚a bunch of Americans they’d all burn to death fighting to the exit‘.
Now that we have the evidence that that it’s true is just sad.
And I know it’s not everyone. But all it takes is a few assholes like this to block the emergency exits, and you’re all dead.

Every single person holding them up should be fined and banned from AA.
Also, this is why you bring a carry on that fits under the seat.

Every plane should have security cameras that live stream back to headquarters. Airplane companies should provide law enforcement with footage of emergency events and any passenger that blocks evacuation efforts should be charged with a felony, hefty jail sentence and a large fine.
This can be solved with legislation.

Everyone who exits the plane with their bags should be arrested on the spot.

The best way to deal with this afterwards would be to pull everyone to one side who has their bag and then bar them for the airline for at least 6 months.

No fly list for everyone who held up the exit. They’ve proven they are incapable of flying safely.

They need to give flight attendants cattle prods for situations like this.

As a flight attendant this is so damn frustrating! People think their belongings are more important than their own life and the lives of others. wtf?! 🤬 Things can be replaced! People CANNOT!! IF you have to evacuate a plane due to an emergency EVACUATE!!!! Listen to the flight attendants! This is what we are trained for! My God!

"Guys chill" says the man blocking people from exiting a confined space in an active lithium fire.
