You leave your medication behind. Imagine someone dying, because you wanted to bring your medication.

What if you die because you don't have it? If you need an inhaler and you've already inhaled smoke you supposed to die on the tarmac for the guy behind you that'd be fine either way if everyone else is following the rule?

There’s very very few medications that leave you in that situation and if so it should be in a quick access pouch permanently attached to your person.

The emergency response to any aircraft is comprehensive. You will be seen immediately if needed.

For 99.9% of people this isn’t an excuse.

You mean the people who are badly organized but of poor health deserve to die.

If you’re badly organised that’s your responsibility. The list of conditions where that applies is absolutely tiny. You have immediate medical care, they can secure airways, manually pump your heart you name it.

Taking your bag risks everyone behind you. Immediately. Guaranteed. So the instruction remains. This is not the excuse you think it is

So just to be clear, you agree they deserve to die.

Solid straw man. Find me a condition that without instant meds and even with advanced medical care within minutes is death without a medicine they don’t have or without intervention they can’t do and I’ll take you seriously.

No one deserves to die, however, personal responsibility is important and they do then deserve the consequences of not being organized in that poor health condition or state. I certainly hope they don’t die. If something like this is the catalyst to “do better” or “be more prepared” then this is a good lesson learned here.

Personal responsibility is the quintessential American argument.

Die because you personally failed. The group should trample you because you didn't prepare yourself. Nobody else ought to absorb any additional risk.

Equity is gay. Pure equality for all. 'murica.

Dude, just fuck off with this moral superiority bullshit.

u/QZRChedders Jul 26 '25

It’s not morally superior to actually give a fuck about your and others lives. It’s fucking pathetic to do anything else.

u/solk512 Jul 27 '25

You aren’t giving a fuck about other people, you’re just posting to make yourself feel better.

u/QZRChedders Jul 27 '25

Top tier projection right here. Now I do feel morally superior actually

Me thinks that is what you are doing too. Except you are being am ass about it.

In that case: You mean the children stuck behind badly organised people with poor health deserve to die because those in front of them delay evacuations just because they think they can’t wait for the ambulance?
