I can't think of another word to describe those hauling luggage off a burning aircraft as moronic.
I wasn't implying baggage was a factor in Manchester. What I'm getting at is that a lot of cabin design changes and changes to materials, plastics and SOPs were changed with the vision of increasing survivability through reduced evacuation times. If we are now allowing people to take their luggage with them in an evacuation then what's the point in all that. You can do all sorts to change the design of a plane only for it to be rendered useless by morons taking their carry on bags with them.
