Both were sitting in the rear end of the plane. One of them was found by the tail, the other was found on the ground closer to the planes final destination... Btw. There are still 6 people in critical condition in the hospital, down from 10.

Imagine if most passengers decided to get their luggage out during an emergency. Suddenly the total surface area (surface area of each passenger + objects that take up surface space) on the floor to evacuate expands 50% - 100% (an average person's surface area on the floor is equivalent to one luggage). That's not counting the idle time that occurs with the line of passengers waiting on others to unload their luggage out of the bins and for people to position their luggage in order to slide down. In this particular accident, there were multiple passengers with burn injuries from the fire that ultimately consumed the cabin a few minutes after it was fully evacuated. There were also dozens of people who had to evacuate the plane with broken bones, some of whom had to be cut loose from their seat harnesses by flight attendants with knives that were passed up to the plane by emergency personnel on the ground. It's highly likely that some of those burn injuries were enabled or made worse by the people slowing down evacuation by getting their luggage. To plgElwood: Yes, some people being panicked and acting irrationally is unavoidable in this kind of incident, and some of the people who spent time fiddling with luggage probably would not have done so if they'd been able to approach the situation calmly. However, that doesn't mean it isn't a problem, and one of the functions of crewmembers in these kinds of situations is to insist that people leave their luggage behind. Also to plgElwood: Regarding your question about why the top of the plane burned away, once there's a fire inside the cabin, hot gases from the fire rise. The top of the fuselage didn't burn away until some time after the accident and evacuation, and in earlier photographs you can see that it's intact. If a building fire occurs on a middle floor, usually the floors above will burn or collapse while those below are less affected, for the same reason. | ||

Weather conditions at San Francisco yesterday were in the mid-60s (about 18 C for those overseas) and sunny, and the flight took place in the summer, so I'd be extremely surprised if icing were a cause. The 2008 LHR incident happened in mid-January, where ground temperatures were about 5 C (41 degrees F) and the flight had spent a significant portion of its cruise over Siberia in temperatures (at altitude) of -65 to -74 C (-85 to -101 F). | ||

That incident was also in a different type of engine, the Rolls Royce rather than the Pratt & Whitney engines used by this aircraft. Different designs, and even the RR engines have been changed to fix the issue. The issue never affected the Pratt & Whitney engines. | ||

I'm thankful I don't have to fly Asian airlines, the cockpit culture/CRM still is to this date horrible. They will literally (and have) rather die in a crash than challenge their captain's authority because of the fucked up hierarchy culture present in some of the countries. It boggles the mind. | ||

You're filming it. You're filming the whole thing!" Is that really a normal reaction to a planecrash? Thank god we got it on tape? | ||

Probably just grab my stuff and get out, not realizing what has just happend. Is there ANY rumor about someone getting hurt by the ones who secured their bags? I guess not. I would like to know why the top of the plane burned down ??!? For my understanding, it landed without landinggear, spun around, lost it´s tail, but never was upside down. I agree. I would probably quickly grab my bag as well. Granted, I never take a lot of hand luggage with me (just a bag with my tablet and some books and whatnot) and I always stow it under the seats. Besides, in high-risk situations, instincts tend to take over and people don't think clearly anymore. Edit: pretty funny that people scold those women for 'not acting rationally'. Here is some advice: noone, except highly trained individuals, reacts rationally in lifethreatening situations. The normal human reaction is to grab whatever valuables you can get your hands on, be it luggage or a child, and get the fuck out. This happens instinctively, i.e. you don't think, you just act. | ||
