wow, very lucky. To think that being late would actually save your life.
Here also a civil aviation college was supposed to attend a course in Nairobi but he got his departure time from Khartoum mixed up and missed his flight to Addis. Next morning he was rather angery being fined $50 to rebook but when the news came about the crash he was in a state of unbelieving.needless to say the course organizers were calling all day to confirm his status. Course missed.
A very lucky man, indeed.
