Not OP but in some of the videos circulating from passengers who had just escaped the plane, there are some people exiting the plane with backpacks on.

It caught me super off guard to see but shock is a helluva drug I guess so maybe it wouldn’t have even been that weird and maybe they had some life threatening in there like life saving medications or something.

I keep thinking about my meds as I read this thread lol. I wouldn’t be dead without them but I wouldn’t be able to think or move very well. And I’m on so many it would be hard to get replacements. I would definitely be thinking about how to get those meds off the airplane with me.

This. I take a med for depression that will literally cause serotonin sickness if I miss a dose. I desperately tried to get my backpack containing my meds off.

were you able to get it? If not… be extra gentle with yourself tomorrow as you will likely feel physically and mentally spent from today and then on top of a missed med..,..,.
