It has happened on several occasions, but I think I’m a lucky kind of guy. We flew back west yesterday from Korea, me to a business trip to Austria, and Sue back home in UK for the 2 weeks to visit family. We later heard that an Air France plane disappeared on a flight from Brazil to France somewhere over the Atlantic while we were in the air on our flight. Poor souls.
We were in Bali a week after the horrendous bombing in the nightclub in Sanur, where we might have gone one evening.
We were in Bali, Southern Indonesia, when the earthquake struck sending out a devastating tsunami wiping out lives and destroying towns and villages along the coastline of Indonesia and Sri Lanka. We only experienced what they called a small “freak wave” which took out a few beach front restaurant windows.
I was in New York the 2 days before the terrible attack on 9-11.
We have a habit of just missing things like this and we could so easily have been involved in any of the above incidents, had the timings or circumstances been different – I’m not complaining about it, but fate is a strange thing, and unavoidable. Make the most of what is a short life. Enjoy it!
