Heard another story. Man from beijing. Traditional family but not frum however were strict about only eating kosher meat. Was in Malaysia on business. Was supposed to be on mh370. However his wife called and said with passover coming up, could he make a detour in i forget which country, and pick up a case of kosher meat. So he switched his flight.
I asked the person who told me this story to see if he can verify it.
He had more details which made it more believable, but I forgot them
