Traffic saved Indonesian man from doomed Lion Air flight

An Indonesian man has described how Jakarta's notorious traffic inadvertently saved his life on Monday after he arrived too late to catch the doomed Lion Air plane which plunged into the sea minutes after taking off. Sony Setiawan, an official in Indonesia's finance ministry, had meant to be on board the ill-fated flight JT610, a journey he and his colleagues caught on a weekly basis. "I usually take (flight) JT610 -- my friends and I always take this plane," Setiawan told AFP.
