[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think so, but I happened to live in Hoboken when that plane landed in the Hudson, and I was just on a plane with a medical emergency (they said is there a doctor on board mid flight) and before landing they came on the announcement and said an ambulance is meeting us at the gate - everyone stay seated while the person with the medical emergency gets off first.  And I seriously in my head thought, I wonder if everyone will stay seated - but literally every person on the flight stayed seated and silent while the person with the issue got off.

So now I have more faith![/quote]

NP.  I have been on a similar flight where someone had a medical emergency and they were taken to a waiting ambulance when we landed.  We all waited, of course we did.

This was year ago though.  Everything has gotten worse since the pandemic.  Have people not started to recover at all yet and return to civility?[/quote]

Right, but in these situations, there is only one person experiencing an emergency. In a whole-plane emergency, there are going to be a lot of people who think they are more deserving of getting off the plane earlier than other people, or that their hand baggage is more important and therefore they are the exception to the group behavior standards that result in order. It's fairly easy to wait your turn when there's nothing but your own convenience riding on it and someone else is having an emergency.[/quote]
