A British couple and their baby cheated death after being bumped from
the Malaysia Airlines flight that crashed in Ukraine because the
aircraft was too full.
Barry Sim and wife Izzy, from Scotland, were scheduled to board the
doomed MH17 airliner at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport with their tiny tot
on Thursday.
But they were told that all the seats were taken - and so were switched to a later KLM flight.
"You get this sick feeling in the pit of your stomach," Sim said about how he felt the moment he heard the news of the tragedy.
"We started getting butterflies. Your heartbeat starts going," he told the Telegraph.
A Total of 295 people were killer when the Kuala Lumpur-bound flight was apparently shot down on the Russia-Ukraine border.
"There must have been someone watching over us and saying 'you must not get on that flight'," he addedTribute: A woman lights a candle in front of the Embassy of the
Netherlands in Kiev on Thursday night to commemorate passengers of
Malaysian Airlines flight MH17
The couple, who usually don't like to fly with KLM, said they were now
"concerned" about traveling, but Sim insisted that the family should
continue "going about their life."
