The other passengers stopping to get their bags before leaving just gave me a clear path to the exit so I didn't spend a long time stuck inside.

This chills me and enrages me. Airline pilot here. There are few people more detestable on earth than a pax who stops to grab luggage in an evacuation. Other people may die because you needed your Hermes bag or other replaceable junk

My girls scared the shit outta me the other day. Got a trucker to honk. v proud! No idea where they learned it

I agree with all of this. I'd be interested in her book. What you need to know is flight attendants actively talk and command passengers during an evacuation. Over and over and over again, they'll repeat to leave everything come this way. They'll even change commands so it's not repetitive and doesn't get tuned out by your brain. Actively, during the event, flight attendants are commanding you to leave everything. So not only is this mentioned (and ignored) before the flight during the safety safety demo, but also during an event.

Thank you! If those questions are answered, will that satisfy a scientific curiosity, or are there other benefits to those answers? Can knowing those answers benefits humankind in any way that's already been thought of?
