Two men who were supposed to fly on the Ethiopian Airlines flight that crashed and killed all 157 people onboard are counting their blessings today. The pair said they missed the doomed flight Sunday morning –– and one man called it his "lucky day" in a reflective social media post. Later, he found out through a friend's text that the plane crashed minutes after takeoff from Addis Ababa airport. Both Addis Ababa and Nairobi are major hubs for humanitarian workers. He was coming in from the United Emirates when he missed his connecting flight in Addis Ababa because of a delay, according to Dubai-based newspaper The National.
