A man, Steve Potts, recounts surviving two major incidents after narrowly avoiding death in 1980. He says he missed a doomed flight connected to the Tenerife airport disaster involving Dan Air, believing a last-minute decision prevented him from being onboard.
Potts also describes escaping two separate IRA bombings at later points, saying his survival depended on timing and choices in each case. In his account, the combination of incidents is presented as a series of near misses: had he made different decisions or been in the wrong place at the wrong moment, he believes he would have died.
Both outlets frame the story as a personal recollection focused on the sequence of events rather than new investigative details. The emphasis is on individual circumstances that, according to Potts, kept him alive across multiple high-profile tragedies and attacks, with no additional disputes or alternate versions highlighted in the provided reports.
