Cork based chef expresses relief after avoiding ill-fated Malaysian flight
A Cork based chef who was due to fly on the ill-fated MH17 flight says he feels very lucky to be alive. Zuul and Ujang who are chefs at Raman Asian Street Restaurants in the city changed their itinerary at the last minute and opted to fly with another airline which was offering a better price. It was an anxious wait for the friends and family of the chefs who were on another flight to Kuala Lumpur when the news broke as it wasn't confirmed whether or not they gave up their seats on the doomed flight.
