Not wishing to shoot you down again, but I wonder if there would be problems showing graphic scenes to minors and nervous flyers?
Uplinker, you're right, there are lots of problems here, and as others point out, airlines are run by bean counters, so safety isn't the first priority -money is. With imagination and expertise, a 30 second movie could be made that gets the point across that fumbling with your carry-on slows the evacuation, and that delay could cost lives. It needn't be that graphic: it could show animated or stick figures being caught in the fire. What I'm saying is that if someone did this in a clever, catchy way (think Hollywood) and if the right 30-sec movie was included in the safety briefing, it might catch on across the industry. If the flying public gets it into their minds that "someone else grabbing their carry-on will kill ME" then maybe this could work.
