You may have heard about the helicopter and small plane that collided over the Hudson River killing all nine people aboard both crafts.

The helicopter was a tourist sight-seeing one and it carried five Italian tourists and the pilot. The local news is now carrying the story of another Italian tourist, a woman, and her 13 year old son who missed the flight by a few minutes because the son was worried about taking a helicopter ride. He slowed up the mother enough so that they missed the ill-fated flight.

Talk about "luck".
