In an interview ✅with TV Globꦺo, Adriano Assis explained why he missed the flight and a segment of his interview went viral on social media.

The man told the news outlet that he thought he was supposed to take a Latam flight. He waited at the airport for an announcement, but nothing came. Later, he found out that there was a mix-up and he was actually supp🐓osed to be on the Voepass flight that crasheꦆd.

When he realized his mistake, he rushed to the gate but was tu𒁃rned away by an airline employee.

He reportedly argued with the staff member and got upset. In the interview, Assis admitted that he is now grateful to the employee, saying t🌠hat the staff member ultimately saved his life.

The part from the interview of him shari🍒ng the experience went viral on social media and one of the users wrote, “This man wasn’t allowed to board the plane that just crashed i෴n Vinhedo in São Paulo, Brazil because he was LATE. He argued with the man at the boarding gate, but ended up hugging him after hearing the plane had crashed. This is unbelievable."

Assis wasn’t the only one who missed the ill🌳-fated flight. Another passenger also made the same mistake and failed to board.
