While I agree, sometimes missing a flight can seem life-altering.
My great Uncle and his son used to design golf courses back in the day before a bankruptcy. They got so big at one point they worked with Palmer and Nicklaus.
The son was in Tampa Bay doing some work on a course. On the way to the airport to catch a private plane back to DFW, the son got a call to come back for a quick meeting, so he decided to catch a later flight.
Turns out the plane was the flight that killed Payne Stewart.
If I remember correctly, that very jet got me home for New Year's weekend while I was in college.
