With lives on the line, some passengers grabbed carry-ons, iPads

Here’s a different kind of unpleasantness to think about in connection with the Asiana Flight 214 crash. Sure, we’re happy that so many people survived a deadly situation. But some of them apparently refused to get out of the burning jet without their carry-on bags and iPads. One passenger even had two boxes of duty-free alcohol, the Wall Street Journal says.
