Stories of four\u00a0passengers who didn’t make flight FZ981 have come to light.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Going out the night before\u00a0saved the life of\u00a0Elvira Isaeva, who\u00a0was on holiday in Dubai, but overslept and missed the flight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI don\u2019t know how it happened. It\u00a0was sheer luck. I just overslept \u2013 and that\u2019s it.\u00a0I woke up to a phone-call from Rostov, where I bought the tour. I didn\u2019t\u00a0even\u00a0understand what they meant when some trembling voice asked me: \u2018Are you alive?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI said \u2018yes\u2019 and went back to bed. Then, I woke up and turned on the news, I was\u00a0horrified.\u00a0I do not know, is it my luck, a guardian angel watching over me or my mother\u2019s\u00a0prayers? But I\u2019m in dismay.\u00a0I\u2019m hurt and terrified by what happened there. A number of my friends took the\u00a0flight and died. \u00a0This is a terrifying trauma.”<\/p>\n

Another passenger had missed the trip to Dubai completely, after losing his passport just days before the trip. However,\u00a0the tragedy has left him a widower, as\u00a0his wife went on without him.<\/p>\n

Russian media have also reported that a third passenger and her son were due to take the trip from Rostov to Dubai but she cancelled her trip at the last minute. However, her\u00a0cousin along with her husband and his brother took the fatal\u00a0trip. All of them were killed in the plane crash.<\/p>\n
