Evacuation...

What has happened to passengers who do not comply with the safety instructions in emergency?

Example, the Toronto AF crash... No one died and a limited number of people received injuries.

In an evacuation, the passengers are supposed not to take their cabin baggage, since it is liable to hinder evacuation. However, in the AF case, many did and many did not. Cabin luggage left behind burned while those who took their cabin baggage saved it.

Now, were the passengers found having baggage after evacuation punished for violation of safety instructions, did they have their baggage confiscated or something else? Are there any cases where surviving passengers of a crash are blamed afterwards for misbehaving in this or any other manner?
