Not only do many passengers seem more concerned about getting good photos and videos than getting clear of the area - these often reveal an alarming number of evacuated passengers carrying various bits of hand luggage (see the photos of the
China Airlines 737 evacuation back in August 2007 for a particularly extreme example).
