Well I am back ! But there is more to my return ...

I had to change my flight from Wednesday night to Tuesday night to match my work requirements. And fortunately I managed to find a seat on Tuesday AF flight Luanda / Paris. Otherwise I was booked on the TAAG (Transportos Aeros Angolanos) the Angolan air company for a Wednesday flight.

And this morning I read off Yahoo France that the very plane I was supposed to take yesterday has landed off track in the CDG airport in Paris. According to the communique the accident is due to ... human error (no surprise there for TAAG is not really spearheading the industry in terms of HSE). The pilot had too much speed when his B747 - 300 reached the ground. Fortunately no injuries were reported but according to 2 of my friends that were onboard that flight it has been a rough ride when the plane reached the field area after the track.

I guess I am lucky to be a work-alcoholic, even though somehow (since it is a minor incident) I would have liked to test what an off track landing feels like ... :P
