Skeleton, I'm sure you'd feel fully justified in bashing everyone out the way whatever the circumstances.
Now, back to real life and the incident actually under discussion: did you read my post? Does it occur to you (1) that the cabin crew may have assessed the situation as not requiring the sort of panic in which pax like you kill others to save themselves, (2) that a passenger standing in the aisle waiting for those ahead may have time to get something out of the overhead without delaying you in the least?
Oldlurker, Did you read my post?
I did not say i would be justified in bashing everyone out the way whatever the circumstances, please do not misquote me. I also made no mention of this particular incident, again please do not misquote me.
I said that in the event of an emergency evacuation called by the crew if you were in my way, getting your hat and coat and you were stopping (delaying) me I would be coming through. Please do not twist my words in future to further your own agenda.
