“The company regrets to inform that all 61 people on board flight 2283 died at the site,” VOEPASS said in a statement. “At this time, VOEPASS is prioritizing provision of unrestricted assistance to the victims’ families and effectively collaborating with authorities to determine the causes of the accident.”

After the crash, a man at the airport claims he was supposed to be on the plane that crashed.

According to the man, he arrived late and was denied entry to board the plane. The man says he hugged the ticket attendant for saving his life by not allowing him on the plane.

“I argued with him and so…and he saved my life. I hug him because he’s done his job. If he hadn’t done his job maybe I wouldn’t be doing this interview today.

I spoke out of anger, but this chap, I don’t even know his name, he really saved my life
