A married couple from Scotland and their infant narrowly avoided the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines flight 17 — thanks to the fact that the flight was overbooked.
Barry and Izzy Sim and their baby were scheduled to be on board MH17, which crashed after being shot down in Ukraine airspace on Thursday around 12pm ET.
"You get this sick feeling in the pit of your stomach... We started getting butterflies. Your heartbeat starts going.' Barry Sim said of his reaction after he heard the plane he desperately wanted to board was shot down.
His wife said; 'There must have been someone watching over us and saying "you must not get on that flight".' The couple later cancelled their flight with KLM after the women refused to fly.
Meanwhile U.S intelligence has confirmed that the plane was shot down by pro-Russian separatists who mistook the jetliner for a Ukraine military plane. And it is a Russian-made weapon.
