PASSENGERS ON BURNING PLANE GRABBED THEIR CARRY-ONS

Passengers on the British Airways jet whose engine caught fire just before takeoff in Las Vegas the other day escaped with their lives — and some with their carry-ons. While flight crews tell people to leave belongings behind in an evacuation, pilots say passengers are increasingly inclined to grab whatever they brought on board. And sometimes they take a selfie or two. “We’re always shaking our head,” said Chris Manno, a veteran pilot with a major US airline who took to social media Wednesday to slam those pictured on the Vegas tarmac with their bags. “It doesn’t matter what you say, people are going to do what they do.”
* It’s as if the airlines do everything in their power to make sure you don’t end up with your luggage.
* Those aren’t selfies. That’s called “evidence”, for the lawsuit.
* “We’re always shaking our heads”? Just often do these evacuations happen?
* Oh, and this is no time to lecture the passengers after it was your friggin’ plane that caught on fire.
* “Darn these passengers for not following instructions while we nearly kill them.”
* What’s next? An airline survival fee?
