I'm not one to defend what happened but I will comment that if every single time you leave and aircraft you take your bag with you, in an emergency you go into autopilot mode in a sense and your brain just does what it's used to. There has been talk of auto-locking overhead lockers for dep/arr. I think there are some ideas to be explored.
Still, BA, Asiana and this, all impacts close to the ground and in all cases everyone survived the impact! Solid jet.
