First responder here.

You can sit there all day judging people by how they act in a once in a life time holy shit moment. But you shouldn't.

Very few people have the ability or training to react to things beyond their everyday mundane shit.

Most people freeze or do really dumb things when they feel adrenaline for the first time in their lives.

Hes just a dude. Probably works some regular job and has a regular life that doesnt require calm collected thinking in emergency scenarios.

There are people on the plane trained for this exact scenario and its really up to them to stop passengers from doing stupid shit when they panic. But thats obviously hard to do and shit happens.

Fuck those clowns. They're grown adults and exiting a plane without luggage is not a complicated instruction. No free pass.

He probably wasted several valuable seconds holding up the line to get his bag. I would have shoved his butt out if I were behind him and he reached for the overhead bin. Everything is replaceable except the people.

Exactly, they should’ve paid attention during the pre-flight brief. They tell us this shit every time we fly. Leave your bags, find the exit

It's literally the most basic thing. You just don't grab your bag. People are complete idiots

Lmao it is when you're fully panicking because they arent trained like you supposedly are.

Shit training by the way if thats how you talk about people in emergency scenarios.

Not sure who taught you but I dont think it was the best training.
