Like Ahmed Khalid who revealed how delayed flight from Dubai to Addis Ababa saved his life, another Greek passenger is shaken after learning he could have been among the 157 killed in the Ethiopian Airlines plane crash on Sunday.
In a Facebook post, Antonis Mavropoulos, shared an image of his ticket and said it was his "lucky day", reported the BBC. According to Mavropoulos he was due to board the doomed flight but arrived at the gate two minutes late. He wrote in his Facebook post: 'I was angry because nobody helped me to reach the gate on time. I'm grateful to be alive'.
The Ethiopian Airlines 737 was flying from Addis Ababa to Nairobi when it crashed just six minutes after takeoff, killing all 149 passengers and eight crew members onboard. This was the second crash in five months involving a 737 Max 8.
The pilot had reported difficulties and had asked to return to Addis Ababa, the airline said, adding the visibility was said to be good but air traffic monitor Flightradar24 reported that the plane's "vertical speed was unstable after take-off". The pilot was named as Senior Captain Yared Getachew who had a "commendable performance" with more than 8,000 hours in the air, the airline added.
