Narrow escapes

[chinwag.choker]

Have you ever had a close shave involving a famous disaster? For instance, the famous airbus crash that departed South America for France and ended up in the sea, no survivors. One woman who was late for the flight was interviewed about her relief. Two days later she was killed in a car crash in Europe. (I know, it sounds like the plot for Final Destination but if your google the story. it actually is true).

Fortunately, a friend of mine was a little more lucky. She had been a passenger on a first leg of a flight from Frankfurt that had been carrying the bomb that went off over Lockerbie. It wasn't her plane that exploded, I think the bomb was transferred to another plane in London that took off for New York. This happened in the late 80's, investigators said the bomb was so unstable it could have gone off at any time. My friend is still alive and well.

My story is not so exciting. My family, myself, hubby and three kids were passing through Hoddle St ten minutes before the massacre took place. We were coming back from the inlaws (I think it was a Sunday night) and my hubby wanted to watch the last ten minutes of some tv show with his dad but I had a headache and demanded that we leave. He has never argued with me since.

Do you have a narrow escape story?

What does Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren's nationality have to do with this thread of Narrow Escapes?????

Makes me wonder about some peoples rationality.

But I thought you used an old B&W like carls*world? That's hardly what I'd call a smart tv.

Since TV sets are inanimate objects, there can be no such thing as a 'smart' one. It's the users who are smart when they decide what to watch and what to ignore.
