Yes, it would be best if passengers got off the plane without delay. It would also be best if they got off the plane with vital pills and paperwork. Perhaps the industry should address some inconvenient truths?
Despite their reluctance, the airlines and their governing regulators need to get it across to passengers that when they enter an airplane they are entering a survival situation and they need to be prepared.
I have said this before on other threads: When I travel by air I keep my passport, other identification, and at least two day's worth of medications (in plastic pill pouches) on my person in zipped or buttoned pockets. My shoes are always on my feet and tied securely. No slip-on shoes!. (My wife does the same.) I have been in two serious crashes. I am 78 years old but I am ready to RUN from a crashed plane.
