It happened in early October 1992 (Yup I’m really that old). I was in a hotel room in Las Vegas and I was on the phone with KLM airlines, booking a flight to Amsterdam, Netherlands. As we were going over the details, suddenly a horrible feeling of forbearing overcame me. The feeling was so strong that I decided to not take a flight to Amsterdam right away. I’d stay in Las Vegas a little longer, and I told the KLM person that I had changed my mind.

I later found out that at the very moment I was on the phone with KLM to book my flight to Schiphol Amsterdam International airport, literally that very moment, a plane crashed into an apartment building after it had just taken off from Schiphol. To this day it is considered the worst aviation disaster in the Netherlands. At least 47 people died but the exact number is unknown since the apartment building housed many unregistered tenants.

jeeezee that is pretty spooky you getting on the flight may have changed the whole course of it and may not have even crashed

Crazy stuff

Sometimes I wonder if everything really happens for a reason.
I remember reading a news story about a man who was supposed to be on the MH370 plane that disappeared in March 2014.
Just 4 months later in July of 2014, MH17 crashed. If I’m not mistaken, it was accidentally shot down.
The same man was supposed to be on that plane too.

Still very sad about those two planes and all the lives lost. I do wonder if MH370 will ever be found. My guess is that it will be found by accident decades from now. It certainly was a tragedy.
