Very Close Call - Passenger Misses MH17 Flight

Husband of Masterchef winner Chelsea Winter was almost on flight MH17
Kiwi sailor and Husband of Masterchef winner Chelsea Winter Mike Bullot had a close call with flight MH17 as he was almost delayed to be put on the flight shot down. He caught the same flight the day before by minutes.
This from Mike Bullot's Facebook page: 
“It's a good day to be alive. Arriving at checkin for flight MH0017 on the 16th July being told flight was overbooked and I'm placed on standby. I'm obviously pretty pissed about this and it's explained to me that airlines can legally overbook up to 20% of seats and today's flight is well overbooked. But, 'not to worry, we'll pay for a hotel and expenses while you wait for tomorrow's flight if a seat doesn't come available'. Standing at gate with some 20-30 other people hoping for a seat and boarding pass. I get mine a few mins before gate closes. Too many what-ifs to think about right now... Wondering how many of those behind me in line were pushed back a day...”
