I travel with my passport and wallet attached to my person at all times.. no need to grab any luggage. If it burns, rather than luggage than me. If it doesn't I can collect it later!

Why are people so stupid????
Makes me angry too. those few seconds could be all it takes to die. I don't care if I don't have my passport. All that matters is I get off a burning plane alive. The rest of the situation, like no passport, medication or belongings will sort it self out.
