Carriers cracking down on overweight carry-on bags

I guess the airlines are noticing an increase weights from handheld baggages. Yah I always saw many people carry bulky carry-on bags on the plane, and wonder why can't they just check in the baggages. I think they just want to avoid being charge for overweight when check-in the luggages, yet if everyone think the same way, then they are endangering the lives of everyone. How then will the airlines know the exact weight on board the craft, to know that it is within the safety weight ratio limit. Beside they took up the space unnecessarily for those genuine cases and may block the evacuation path.

Many may think it is ridiculous to check on the handheld baggages, but if you have watch Air Crash documentary show, you will know that even slight weight difference matter. It can cause life or death to the crew and all passengers. Yes there are air crashes due to overweight that burden the air carriage from the lack of safety weight ratio check. Learning from pass accidents, it is a safety regulation that all airlines have to abide to ensure that the air plane is within the safety weight ratio before take off, to prevent future mistake make to avoid risking the lives of many.

I hope that everyone can just be more considerate, so that we can all have a safe journey. Who know it might be just your little act that save the lives of many and yours too.
