    British Airways plane catches fire in Las Vegas - BBC News

    A British Airways plane bound for London has caught fire at Las Vegas airport, forcing the evacuation of 172 people on board on emergency slides.
    Airport officials said at least 14 people were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

    US Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said the left engine of the Boeing 777-200 caught fire before take-off.

    The plane was seen engulfed in flames and smoke. The fire was later put out.
    So according to the article the plane was taxiing on the runway, so everyone would have been in their seats at the start, so what makes people stop and think "I will hold everyone up getting off the plane while I get my carry on luggage out of the over head bin" and why did the Aircrew let them evacuate with said luggage still, is your man bag really worth more than your life!

          Where does it say luggage? Someone else mentioned this on facebook and neither article I read said it? Is it because of the pictures? Most people either have nothing or a handbag which is at your feet.

          We booked our Vegas trip on Monday so everyone has been linking this to me on FB... Erm, thanks friends .

              The person on the far left has a big bag and a handbag, the guy in the white shirt in the middle again has a bigger cabin bag and a more hand held bag

                    There are definitely some people who's manbags are worth more than their sad lives.
