You have obviously never worked in Asia, (China & India) in particular.
They couldn't care less about a slick animated video. They only care about themselves. And it is not tunnel vision, it is selfishness.
As a pax last night, I watched a Chinese woman climb over the 2 passengers beside her to then push her way through the crowded isle to get to the front and get off the plane. Only to be waiting at the top of the aerobridge for her friends. Just fuc&?ing RUDE!
So in an emergency, as long as SHE gets her luggage, that is all that will matter.
LOCK THE OVERHEAD BINS.
