Now this is crazy!
Facebook Chief Operating Officer, Sheryl Sandberg was supposed to be aboard the Asiana Airlines flight that crash-landed at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday morning but miraculously rescheduled!
Sandberg and even other execs at the social media giant escaped potential disaster when they switched to a United flight returning from a Korean business trip.
Sanberg sent in an email to USA TODAY’s Jon Swartz saying:
“I was on another flight from Korea at the exact same time. We are ok. My friend on that flight is ok, too.”
The site reports:
Sandberg, a billionaire and author of the recently released best seller Lean In, took another flight flight from Seoul to cash in air miles tickets for family members. She said the United flight landed 20 minutes before the Asiana crashed.
“Thanks you to everyone who is reaching out – and sorry if we worried anyone,” she tweeted.
Samsung executive David Eun, who was on crashed flight, was among the first to tweet and send photos of the heavily damaged Boeing 777.
“I just crash landed at SFO,” he said. “Tail ripped off. Most everyone seems fine. I’m ok. Surreal.”
Two passengers, teenage girls were reported dead and 181 injured when the Boeing 777 landed short of a runway at about 11:27 a.m. PT.
Thankfully Sheryl and her colleagues missed this disaster but sadly many are still dealing the with the after effects of the whole ordeal.
