If I had a loved one perish in such circumstances, and saw footage of at least one individual lumbering across the tarmac with a bag which appeared to be of max weight/dimensions, as can be seen the footage of this incident, I'd be looking to "have words".
This would make absolutely no difference at all to people's behavior in an emergency. 99.9% of pax have no idea what the laws governing air travel are. Punishing someone after the event may make you feel better but will have absolutely no chance of saving lives.
