Two minutes judge life from death. Antonis Mavropoulos, the only person who survived the doomed flight of Ethiopian Airlines, because simply he was not allowed to board on the Boeing 737 MAX 8.


The two-minute he was late prevented the founder of waste management company D-Waste and President of the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA), to carry out his planned trip to Nairobi with an airplane that would crash six minutes after his take-off.

Antonis Mavropoulos spoke SBS Radio Greek Language Program, bringing to mind the two random incidents, which in essence gave him a second chance in life.

Mr Mavropoulos talks for the day that change his life for ever, his first thoughts that he could even be accused of terrorism and his brother who lives in Sydney.
