A former beauty queen and nine of her family members narrowly avoided boarding AirAsia flight 8501 after they failed to check an email telling them that their flight time had changed. Miss Indonesia runner-up 2008 Anggi Mahesti was supposed to board the lost plane, from Juanda International Airport, in Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore, on Sunday at 7.30am. Fortunately she and her family didn't see an email on 15 December, or answer calls from the airline, telling them their departure time had been brought forward to 5.35am. They arrived at the airport in two separate cars, just as the final boarding call was ringing out. Only 42 minutes later, the flight disappeared off the radar.
