Opinion: In an Emergency, Leave Your Baggage Behind

Tuesday, 09 July 2013 | by Pat's Picks

The Wall Street Journal’s Scott McCartney writes a column about the selfishness of people who thinking about their stuff before their fellow passengers during emergency evacuations. Footage of the Asiana crash over the weekend shows passengers clutching their iPads, luggage—even two boxes of duty-free alcohol—as they navigate the plane’s inflatable slides. Another thing to think about, should you ever be forced to evacuate? Take off your high heels, which can puncture the slide and endanger people still on the plane.
