Emirates plane crash: They ran after baggage, not life
In the process, they also blocked others from exiting although the crew were screaming for an emergency evacuation.
Thiruvananthapuram: Many passengers of the ill-fated Emirates aircraft that crashlanded in Dubai on Wednesday were more bothered about collecting their baggage from the overhead storage space than trying to get out of the plane fast.
In the process, they also blocked others from exiting although the crew were screaming for an emergency evacuation.
This has been shown in a two-minute video footage, probably shot by a passenger on board the aircraft. The video that has gone viral on the social media reveals the extent to which people can go these days with their mobile cameras even when human life is in danger. A woman is seen urging the co-passengers not to be panic, while some others were asking everyone to get out of the plane.
A person tells his son to take the ‘laptop and everything,’ while many scream for their children and parents. As the members of the crew tell the passengers to jump out of the aircraft's emergency exits, many are heard crying ‘God’ before rushing out.
