Passengers risk lives by retrieving bags and filming during emergencies

Air passengers are risking lives by filming emergencies and retrieving bags instead of evacuating planes. Industry experts suggest fines could deter this behavior, which significantly delays evacuations and blocks exits. The global airlines body Iata launched a campaign urging passengers to prioritize safety over belongings. Research indicates many passengers are unaware of the rules regarding personal items during emergencies. Aviation authorities are also observing an increase in passengers not following crew instructions.
