Couple and new baby bumped from Malaysian flight that crashed

http://blog.sfgate.com/sfmoms/2014/07/18/couple-and-new-baby-bumped-from-malaysian-flight-that-crashed/

A couple was overcome with emotion after they learned the Malaysian Airlines flight they were supposed to take crashed on the Russia-Ukraine border.

Barry and Izzy Sim and their baby had reservations on flight MH17 but they were bumped to a later KLM flight due to a lack of seats....

Barry, who is Scottish and lives with his Malaysian wife in Kuala Lumpur, told the BBC that Malaysian Air could only accommodate one of them so they were moved to the later KLM flight....

Izzy added: “We are very loyal to Malaysia Airlines and we always want to fly with Malaysia Airlines. But, do you know what? At this moment we are so glad to be on that KLM flight rather than that Malaysia Airlines flight.”
