A Greek man said he would have been a passenger on the doomed EthiopianAirlines Boeing plane, except he arrived two minutes later for the flight.
Athens - A Greek man said on Sunday he would have been the 150th passenger on the Nairobi-bound Ethiopian Airlines Boeing plane that crashed killing all on board, except he arrived two minutes late for the flight.
Mavropoulos, president of the International Solid Waste Association, a non-profit organisation, was travelling to Nairobi to attend the annual assembly of the UN Environment Programme, according to Athens News Agency. The airport authorities explained that they wanted to question him because he was the only passenger booked onto the doomed flight who wasn't on board.
