Sao Paulo: A man who was denied entry on the flight that crashed in Brazil’s Sao Paulo, which claimed the lives of 62 people, broke his silence by saying that the cabin crew didn’t let him board the flight because he was late, saving his life.
In a candid conversation with Brazilian outlet, TV Globo, Adriano Assis said that he missed his flight because he was late. Asis told the media outlet that he thought he was supposed to board a Latam flight when he reached the airport, but soon he realised that there had been a mix-up and he was supposed to board the regional carrier Vioepass flight that crashed.
Upon realising the mistake, the man rushed to the gate but was denied entry by the airline staff since he was late. At that point, Assis had a verbal tiff with the staff and got angry.
In a video shared of his interview on X, a user said, ” This man wasn’t allowed to board the plane that just crashed in Vinhedo in São Paulo, Brazil because he was LATE. He argued with the man at the boarding gate but ended up hugging him after hearing the plane had crashed. This is unbelievable.”
However, after the news of the crash broke, Assis expressed his gratitude to the man and said that the staff saved his life.
As per reports, Assia was not the only one who missed the fateful flight. Another passenger made the same mistake and missed his flight.
In the interview with the Brazilian outlet, the man said, “Thank God we didn’t get on that plane. We didn’t know it was going to be with that company [Voe Pass], we thought it was going to be with Latam, and Latam was closed. I even arrived early [at the airport] and waited, waited and nothing.”
