ICE laptop fires are much less dangerous.

People are nuts. It should say three people trampled by unhinged passengers.

I saw a video of a stewardess trying to get people off the plane saying, "DON'T TAKE YOUR BAGS" and NO ONE was going anywhere because people were grabbing their bags.

of course, in Japan...

[www.bbc.com]


Japan Airlines Flight 516 turned into a fireball after it collided with a coastguard plane as it landed. Five of the six people on board the smaller aircraft - which had been due to deliver aid to victims of the powerful New Year's Day earthquake - died.

But everyone on Flight 516 survived, with the flawless evacuation from the cabin as it filled with smoke astounding the world and winning praise from many. Aviation experts and industry professionals told the BBC it boiled down to staff on board putting their rigorous training into practice and "well-behaved" passengers who obeyed safety protocols.

"I don't see a single passenger on the ground, in any of the videos I've seen, that has got their luggage with them… If people tried to take their cabin luggage, that's really dangerous because they would slow down the evacuation," said Prof Ed Galea, director of the fire safety engineering group at the University of Greenwich in London.

The only thing to carry with you on international flights is your passport - have that on your person, not in your bag. You will still need it.
