And then there were those who counted their blessings on Saturday for not having boarded their ill-fated flight in Dubai.
Vasant Shetty’s friend had booked him on the Mangalore-bound plane, but he was too busy at work and decided not to take the flight.
“It’s all God’s grace. I missed the flight and survived,” Shetty told the Press Trust of India news agency.
“I don’t know what to say about the ill-fated passengers who were killed,” he said. “I pray for them.”
Wow! Reminds me of some of the 911 stories. Alarm never went off, running late, had to buy a shoelace. Goosebumps for sure.
