This is ridiculous watching all these people reaching in the overheads for their luggage while the plane is burning.....what is wrong with this world?

Most of the valuables are carried in the hand baggage. this can be Jewellery, cash, credit cards, passports, visas, certificates, medicine,and other important documents. The greatest problem in India is putting back all documents together. But life comes first and fleeing the burning plane would be the first priority.
The linked story doesn't have any details regarding what specifically happened or the condition of the aircraft landing gear at the time of the crash. The accident investigation report should make interesting reading.
