Such a well told story and so unbelievable how close things can get in life sometimes 🙏 Lexie was up until 5am with her editor John getting this challenging edit done!! Worth it ✅
I'm Ethiopian, that week was horrible. Seeing the family members of the victims mourning was so so sad. I heard a story of a man that was also supposed to be in the flight, he missed the flight because his connecting flight was delayed.
Insane story. Glad to see that you got out of a sticky situation, so to speak and managed to catch your flight. Airplane crashes are tragic, but the good news is that they're extremely rare. It makes sense to be afraid of flying because it seems unnatural, but the reality is that it's actually one of the safest things you can do. It's far more likely to die or be injured doing lots of things we do every day than flying in an airplane.
I had the same experience! I have travelled my whole life, at least 15 times a year. I was in Hong Kong when the Ethiopian Airline crashed and on the flight back I had my first panic attack and it has been a huge struggle for me to fly ever since… I guess some fears only manifest themselves after triggering events. Hope you are doing better, love your channel :)
I had a similar experience. My husband and I were on flight ET302 on March 17th, 2019. Even though Max8s had been grounded by that point, that was the most anxious I've ever been on a flight.
Hi, thank you for this story. My friend died on that flight and from that time I´m struggling to get on a plane. But it helps to know that I´m not alone with struggle. I wish you many amazing adventures in the future!
I'm so very sorry for your loss 😔 I lost 2 pilot friends in the airline I was cabin crew for. We lost 1 plane when I was working there, and another after I left. After the 1st one, I was unsure if I'd be able to work again, as the shock completely floored me. My nerves were wrecked. I really struggled to get back to work, as did many of my colleagues. We had no expert medical help brought in after the crash (like an experienced counselor), so it made dealing with it extremely difficult. Only an offer to speak to my manager, who had zero qualifications in dealing with such things. It was pointless speaking to him.
Thinking of all the people who lost their lives in the crash. Thank you, Lexie, for always sharing your stories in the rawest form and bringing us along like we're your friends 💙
Wow, what a story and experience! As an Ethiopian, i’m happy to see the hospitality and help you all received from the people in the countryside-they are the most kindest human beings to welcome and host you all with what they have. Your ability to stay positive and smile through challenges/obstacles is what sets you apart. Your channel and video contents are truly inspirational, highly entertaining, and overall just awesome. Great work!
My grandmother has a similar story. She was going to get on a small plane in Mexico with her family, and they just randomly chose not to go in their trip. The plane she was supposed to get on had technical difficulties and crashed, everyone on the plane died.
It's really interesting how unplanned change in events can make a huge difference between life and death. I am really glad that you were given the chance to cancel that flight to go on an unplanned flight to Eritrea a few days earlier. You are such an inspiration that despite what could have happened, you are still continuing to get on many flights to continue travel the world. If I was in your shoes, I would have really been shook up knowing that I could have died. I really like how hospitable the Ethiopian family was with hosting your group when you got stuck out there. It's moments like these where they show how wonderful people in this world really are. Thank you for sharing this story with all of us!
I’m Ethiopian and I’m heartbroken for my brothers and sisters.I deserve that crash instead of them. I’m so sorry for them. Thank You For Visiting Addis Abeba And Respecting Those Who Died On That Plane.
Such a harrowing, heavy, and emotional account. We offer our hearts to the lost souls, stories, and experiences of those lost. Thank you, the roller-coaster of a video and the emotions on it from sadness to anxiety, to fear and relief all point to a renewed sense of mission for you to continue doing a great service: telling stories and documenting experiences in this precious gift of life. Each day is a gift and you help demonstrate how to grieve for those lost as well as take a reminder to live each moment we have fully, experiencing life and telling stories to document our existence in this world. Much love Lexie ❤
I was on a small 4 seater plane on a "fun flight" with my friend and her dad. The very next flight for that plane and my friends dad had crashed into someones backyard. Everyone on board died. My father NEVER hugged me so tight when we got the news.
@@LexieLimitless I find the timing of your story and Manifest very interesting because it was around this time, around 6 years ago, that my family and I were supposed to be involved in the next plane disaster. On a flight heading into Miami to catch a connection flight to Columbia my parents, little brother, and I were all seated in the exit row. At the time my little brother and I were too small to be seated there and a flgiht attendant politely asked my little brother and I to move to another empty seat. So we did and in my sassy youngster mind I thought, "Nothing will happen anyway. No point in relocating seats." Then towards the very end of the flight I noticed something extremely odd. See I have a lot of family in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami so I've taken the flight there a few times. Something wasn't right. We were flying low to the ground and I knew we were where we needed to be because we kept circling the Everglades. Then the captain came on the speaker system and said, "Ladies and gentlemen please listen to your flight attendants as they give you brace instructions. Our landing gear is having difficulty coming out. It seems to be stuck. We will continue to do our best to get the landing gear open but as we arrive closer to the run way we ask that you leave everything on the plan and listen to the crew on board. Thank you." Now I was too young to truly see the gravity of the situation but any adult on the plane immediately knew the danger they were in. As we arrived closer to the run way the flight attendants shouted continously for us to out our heads down and get into brace position. Then all of a sudden our landing gear came out. We landed just like any other flight and everyone was sobbing but excited to be alive. Still not grasping the situation we were in I looked outside of the window. Every single emergency respinse unit that the airport had, as well as other first responders, were on the tarmac waiting for the plane to land without landing gear and potentially go up in flames. They were preparing for the worst case scenario.
@@LexieLimitless that show didnt just come out. That show has been on air since 2018. everybody didnt know about it until it got concelled on nbc and made its way to netflix
@@alvarobuenano2162 scary situation to be in, but just to let you know really nothing could have gone wrong on your flight. Landing gear failures happen quite a bit, and are pretty much always evacuated with no injures
Lexie what an experience and thank you for reminding us of how everyday is so previous and a gift. We mourn all those who were lost in this tragic accident and pray for their loved ones. Also so blessed to have witnessed the kindness of the people of the town. In Ethiopia no one is a stranger and people show kindness and love to all.
you need to deflate the tires if they get stuck in mud, makes it easier for the rubber to move through it. that’s what the army does if i’m not mistaken
Just for future reference if your vehicle ever gets stuck in mud or snow, put it in reverse and back up. That will help you to stop digging yourself into a deeper hole
No one really knows what kinda hand life deals you. But it's important to be grateful for and cherish every moment we have here on earth. You've nicely articulated your story and your experiences, Lexie. It makes for compelling watching. Wishing you luck and safe travels...always. Much love from faraway Bombay.
As a former flight attendant (see previous comments), I often had to be involved in such situations as accidents or incidents. I even witnessed from up close the site of such an event 3 days after the occurrence, and the aircraft involved was very familiar to me as I was "qualified" to fly it. Emotional and surreal. Then I've also been through many incidents, including a desert/sea storm in Israel which left our pilots pulling their top skills and deepest knowledge of flying to get the whole of us safe and sound on the ground. I also just can't forget this armoured tank taking place on the landing strip in front of our plane, as we were stuck in Sierra Leone in the heart of a rebellion. Yet another one ! Or this humanitarian flight for which I volunteered, to take refugees from Bosnia and fly them in Palestine. And so many other weird, but punch-proofing, stories. The most intense one being the sight, hours after signing with my first professional engagement with an airline, of the portraits of the crew members killed in flight. Their DC-10 was destroyed by a bomb over the Ténéré desert, and the investigations led to an attack prepared by the Lybian secret services. Those colleagues, which I never had the honor to know, died for financial and political reasons, and this shook me as it was my very first day in this job. Never shall I forget those faces in the entrance hall of our company. So my unconditional support goes to you, for what you've accomplished on location, then what you had to face on your way back. It seems this was supposed to be a challenge, as it eventually proved, and you were more than up to it. Bravo, this proves your new skills and processes (including meditation) are the way to go. I'm wishing you the best, with some hope we can meet one day (along with the Yes family, of course !). Stay safe and take good care.
This is so helpful. As a person who has dealt with anxiety on many levels, it prevented me from traveling via airplane for a long time. My dreams were evaporating while my desire to take back control grew larger. With some help from professionals, friends, family, and UA-cam, I've been flying for a few years and found a way to take back that precious time that you talked about. Thank you for sharing this story; I wish no one had to have their story cut short, but you continuing to share yours instead of bowing down to fear has got to be worth something.
I also found myself in a kind of similar situation back in 2014 when I was flying from Frankfurt to Bangkok over the Donbass region in Ukraine just days before flight MH17 was shot out of the sky. I even remember looking out of the plane window and seeing the fields down in Ukraine!
This is where final destination comes to mind, I do think things happen for a reason. It wasn't your time but I can't imagine how upsetting, scary and heartbreaking that would be for someone with family around let alone when you're so far from your support system there is only so much comfort to be felt by a phone call or video chat. I remember seeing this on the news, my love and sympathy goes out to the loved ones and friends of all the people who died.
Crazy as this may sound, I think the rain was quite good as it felt almost as though Mother Nature was 'crying' with you and could feel the pain in your heart. I also like the fact that though it started raining heavily, you weren't in a hurry to leave the crash site. Thanks for honoring the victims. I am a journalist and would have definitely interviewed you a few days after the crash
Honey, were you even booked on flight 302 or was that just a day you PLANNED to buy a ticket? Just because a plane crashed on the same day for the same destination you PLANNED doesn't mean you were gonna die.
I am from Ethiopia and I can witness how that crash was terrible. Thank you Lexie for showing this to the world and I really like the way you present it. All the struggles you overcame explains how you guys are strong mentally and physically. Keep up the good work!! You are limitless!
You are so informed about everything you are saying and that's so impressive. I can watch your documentaries 24/7. I am so grateful to God that you took your flight ahead of this unforeseen disaster. our hearts won't forget those we have lost.
Oh man... That flight hit hard. Had friends of multiple people I know, and crashed right by a lake we used to holiday on. Glad for the twist in events that saved your life. Also, are you going to post footage of Eritrea? Would love to reminisce. Haven't really seen much since we were rushed out when I was 9, in 2002. :(
Also, have friends who were on the EgyptAir Flight 804 plane on the Cairo - CDG leg, meaning they were on that plane with that crew just hours before it went down. Crazy to process these kind of things in life.
Another great video. Even making it is a new adventure unto itself. Many thanks to you, Lexi. I had developed a fear of flying because of a story told to me by someone else who was on a flight which had a very serious problem. It ended up landing, but there was a major incident during the meal service. The food went flying everywhere. Even the pilot said this had never happened during his flying experience up until then. I have since gotten over this fear. God Bless You and Yours!
I was traveling in Feb 2020 then 2 weeks later the world shut down. Then in January 2021, I got delayed in Chicago for 3 days and 2 weeks later, hotel quarantine in Canada became a thing of power from the government of Canada. Now I'm going to see my boyfriend for the first time since January. Fate brings us places for a reason. Also in sept 2011, Brian Littrells wife was supposed to be on one of the flights that crashed. She changed her flight to be with her backstreet husband in Toronto instead. They took a bus to Toronto from Boston that week.
I get that you felt touched by this tragedy because of your proximity to it but.. calling it a near death experience? Doing that whole ceremony as if you're visiting your "should have been grave" ? I know the sensationalist tone is for the video but this part came off as insensitive in regards to the people who actually lost their lives in that flight you never even booked.
Such a well told story. Respect for sharing this about the Ethiopian crash. I flew in a small engine plane to sasebo in a severe storm. Lightening stuck the plane twice. Swore that was the end for me. Could only imagine what they much have experienced in their last moments.
My dad often travels to Kenya for work. Once, he was booked to leave on a Friday, but the plane was delayed repetitively, and eventually canceled. He would have left Sunday, except that he ended up in the hospital with an inflamed gallbladder the next day. If the flight hadn't been canceled, he would have ended up in a medical emergency either on a plane or in a country with poor or no healthcare. It was a very scary time, but something was definitely looking out for my dad then.
May be the world hasn’t been informed but this little community were commemorating their passing every months according to the Ethiopian Orthodox Christians faith they commemorate 7th day 40th 80th day and year...like the Jewish (Yahrzeit candle customs), to remember those gone by.. these are my poor ppl but with the warmest hearts in the world who give anything for anyone... weeping right now..
Thank God that you left 5 days early 🤞 and reaching your dream. Really hats off to you for paying tribute those souls and letting us to be a part of that too 😃😄😃
I LITERALLY CRIED DURNG THIS EMOTIONAL VIDEO. MOST UNDERRATED CHANNEL EVER. CONGRATS LEXIELIMITLESS FOR ANOTHER AMAZING AND INTERESTING STORY. YOUR ARE SIMPLY LIMITLESS!!!
My colleague and I were going on a business trip from Brussels to Munchen. Because flights were cheaper the day before from Eindhoven Airport, we left a day earlier. In the morning of March 22th, 2016 (when we were supposed to leave) a bomb exploded in the departure hall of Brussels Airport, causing hundreds of people to get injured, of which more than a dozen died. It looked like a war zone and everything was basically wrecked. Luck was with us back then, and it felt so unreal to have avoided disaster and possibly death, but many people were not as lucky as my colleague and I, which feels so unfair. I might not know what you felt exactly when you were standing in the fields where that aircraft crashed, but the least I can say is that I can relate. Life is soo precious, yet peculiarly random, or some call it fate. Whatever it is that one believes: enjoying every part of it, exploring and creating memories is my way of making it worthwhile. Good luck and keep up the adventures!
My older brother (he’s a pilot) travelled on an Ethiopian 737MAX from our hometown to Addis Ababa and when I heard about this, I thought that it could’ve been his plane. He could’ve been on a doomed plane yet he was so excited to get on… life is too short.
Airlines did not inform their 737 type-rated pilots that the MCAS system even existed. hence the confusion of the pilots when the aircraft became uncontrollable. R.I.P
Fun story you'd probably appreciate. This took place in Washington state. A few years back, I was going through a divorce (I promise this is relevant, not spam) and one day I went to one of the hearings and I sat outside on one of the benches. There were a few women there having a conversation about 'whatcha doing at the courthouse?' One of the ladies and her legal team was there taking legal action against Boeing. She mentioned a few things. One, her department was rejecting products off of the production line for safety. Those pieces were later used on the aircrafts regardless. Two, safety features are being implemented into the aircrafts without being standard and also without being implemented into the manuals. When the first 747MAX went down, I wondered if this is what she was talking about? I have NEVER seen her again and I'm not optimistic that she won her case.
The Indonesian Lion Air crash the took place in October of 2018 hits close to home for me. I was traveling in SE Asia during this time and I was actively looking/booking a flight to go from Thailand back to Hong Kong, so I could catch my flight back to the US. I had been extensively looking at flying with Lion Air and then a few days before I was supposed to depart the crash happened. The crash happened on October 29, 2018 and I was leaving November 4, 2018.
Thank you for sharing your experience and journey as always. I actually saw the documentary about that flight and exactly what happened. I felt so bad for the whole plane as well as the airline. Boeing didn't take the blame for it until way later. I'm glad you ran into great people as always. Have a safe flight everywhere.
@@Ioveydior Their actions and policies prove that they hate God. They kill babies, They put the alphabet community over christians, And if you earn a decent penny they will steal it from you and give it to multiple baby Pumping Unmarried women
Forgive me asking, I’m just trying to clarify-you we’re originally booked on the flight for the 10th. and because your visa came in early, you flew on the 5th instead?
No, she was never booked on the flight that crashed. But she conceivably could have flown that day from the same city because that was when she was expecting her visa to another country to be approved. Of course she needs to make it sound a bit more dramatic (it is literally her job to get views), but still a reminder to be grateful because every day is a gift. And great story-telling. Interesting video.
@@ashleylaurentravels i thought it was offensive and a waste of time to go to a place you didn't die but other did, maybe give money to charity or help people who are alive...stupid.
Fearful flyer here. I tried to avoid airline travel as much as possible. But there are times when I have to fly, whether it be for work or in my personal life. Whenever I do have to fly, I try to sedate myself on Dramamine to help me pass out, otherwise I go into full-blown panic mode. People try to reassure me with the odds, saying that I can fly without fear because nothing bad will happen. But then I remind them of all the poor souls who were tragically killed in airplane crashes/accidents and supposedly those souls had the same odds. So it's fair to say that I'll never feel safe in an airplane. I just wish there was some other form of transportation that didn't involve flying 6 miles above the Earth's surface at 500+ MPH, but unfortunately, there's not many options here in the U.S. The train system (Amtrak) is a joke. If we had reliable bullet trains like Japan, then I would visit my family on the east coast more often.
Is it the lack of control for you during a flight that makes you fear plane crashes more than train and cars? Reading your paragraph makes me think so.
Click bait title for some self indulgent melodrama. You were never booked on that flight. It’s not the flight you should have died on. It’s a flight you COULD have died on. If you had booked this flight then changed it last minute, that would be a different situation. This just feels like you’re using a tragedy to talk about yourself and to make UA-cam content that’ll get clicks. It feels gross.
Clickbaiting on deaths of others? You were not even close to being on that flight, thousands of people miss deadly flight by a day, even an hour and they don’t brag or make vlogs about it. Shameful !
Wow, this has been a great experience. Your excursions, particularly ones like this one where you face uneasiness, danger, and excitement, have inspired me to stretch my limits and control while also eradicating my anxieties. You are one of my sources of motivation and inspiration to never give up on life's obstacles, but to use them as a battery to push myself further in my limits.
Thanks for sharing your story Lexie I remember the plane crashes it is sad that those people died due to Boeing not training the pilots on the new equipment.
JESUS! What a great experience to be told, and it ended up very well told. Also, doing the outro during a turbulence was kinda of a challenge like the one you do with prop with Skillshare hahahaha
I couldn't figure out if your flight was before or after 302 and by how many days. Also, was it the same flight number because usually everyday the same flight number departs at the same time.
Amazing story, RIP for those who lost their lives in that tragic crash. If we all took a second to see our surroundings, we would realize how lucky we are. that's my people they don't care who you are, where your from, just there to help what a fantastic people..Thank you for showing the world how are my people suffering from the deficit of electricity that is why we're filling our dam soon that will end🤞🇪🇹
I changed my mission trip plans and went another direction two days earlier to Tanzania. When I returned a week later to Addis, I had a completely unmarked, white "replacement" plane for the flight. That's when it really hit me that my EA flight crew were probably still feeling the loss of their co-workers and still had to carry on with their jobs.
Yeah that was my take, didn't actually buy a ticket. Just a story of what could have happened if she booked a flight on that day which makes the title click bait imo
@@yuseikikuchi1171 i agree. I repeated the first part of the Video twice to understand the plot of her story but i got more questions instead as she is not clear. Did she know that she would get her passport on the 10th? Yes or not? If yes, had she already bought the flightticket for the 10th? It sounds it was only a wish she had but she was actually not scheduled 🤔 Good analytical and comprehesion reading skills, guys!
Ciaooo I recently just got to know about your channel. This was the first video. As a guy who loves to also travel the world, not only that, a guy who loves aviation this was just simply amazing to watch.. All in all, keep on doing your thing!! Waaanderluuust baaaby. 🙂💛🙏
Great video, glad you're okay. But yeah that 4x4 was absolutely useless. Practically one-wheel drive, looked like no drive to the front wheels at all, and open wheeling the rear. Plus they didn't let tyres down and fairly average looking tyres. Probably would have got about as far in a Camry..
You are like the story teller friend always there to inspire and educate with stories. Thanks for all the amazing videos. Been here right from the start and looking forward to your book. Take care and stay #Limitless
I just have to say this. Lexie's story is NOT a survival story. Her story is NOT honoring those who died in this tragic accident. The victims who were there spent the last moments of their life in pure terror; Lexie was NOT there and has NO connection to those experiences. Sharing this story and pretending she could have died is shameful and sad. Again, SHE WASN'T THERE. Her visit to the crash site was not respectful because once again she made it about her in making a big deal about the rain "not wanting her to leave." The cinematic footage was all about her and her monetary goals to get views, not about honoring the people who died there. I am glad that she wasn't there so she wasn't counted among the victims, but please don't make these horrible events about you.
Your so inspiring and beautiful i am glad you are still here to be able to tell your story i wish you all the love and best wishes and good luck for your future remember your worth it please stay strong and keep smiling because your smile is infectious love your positivity your so brave to be able to go back to the place where it all happened remember your a phenomenal legend mate
This would have been the flight you should have died on only if you were booked to fly on it and missed it or changed it last minute. So NO it was ABSOLUTELY NOT the flight you should have died on because you were NOT booked on it initially. I personally know someone who missed this flight because she missed the first leg to Addis Ababa due to traffic on her way to the airport from her home country. It still haunts her to this day. So you who wasn't even booked on this flight having such a misleading title all for views is super disrespectful to the victims and their families.
Thank u! I thought I was the ONLY one who thought it was completely messed up for this person to take another person's tragedy and make it ABOUT THEM! so disrespectful and disgusting..
@@ashleighrose8115 same. I scrolled through the comments. I wanted to really give her the benefit of the doubt and maybe her intentions were good, but she was never booked or officially meant to be on this flight in any way. Very odd she feels so connected and made this video about it.
I see where both of you are getting at. Yes she’s a little dramatic about it all but being that this is what she does for a living and being days away from being on that same flight route and plane it would of been highly likely she would have been on that plane. I had a very similar event happen to me with 9/11. Let me put it this way it’s like being on the interstate and you see a horrible accident and you left 10 minutes late and you go wow good thing I left 10 minutes late. Or you leave 10 minutes early and hear about it on the radio on the way home. I agree she’s a little dramatic about it all but then again she’s a woman 😂 and does social media for a living so hard to not show narcissistic tendencies
I flew from Kamchatka to Moscow yesterday (6 July 2021) and exactly when I departed the AN-26 flight that crashed was boarding. I even looked up where Palana was and saw people get on the bus to board the plane. When I landed 9 hours later I was barraged with messages asking me if I was ok. Only then I realised everyone I saw waiting to get on the bus are here no more. 😭😭😭😭 This was way too close for comfort and now seeing this video really resonates with me. My thoughts are with the victims of all tragedies
Such a well told story and so unbelievable how close things can get in life sometimes 🙏 Lexie was up until 5am with her editor John getting this challenging edit done!! Worth it ✅

I'm Ethiopian, that week was horrible. Seeing the family members of the victims mourning was so so sad. I heard a story of a man that was also supposed to be in the flight, he missed the flight because his connecting flight was delayed.
Yes, I think he is a Greece citizen.
@@melkamuat6590 yes you are right. His name is Antonis Mavropoulos. That was such a close call.

True the crashes might be rare but when it happens, then mostly hundreds of people lose their lives all at once. Which makes it so scary and tragic.
@@Kiki-ch5ks yes but usually when plane crashes its like 50seats plane that crashes
Yeah but the survival rate is lower than anything else.
@@iffinland9321 not true.
I had the same experience! I have travelled my whole life, at least 15 times a year. I was in Hong Kong when the Ethiopian Airline crashed and on the flight back I had my first panic attack and it has been a huge struggle for me to fly ever since… I guess some fears only manifest themselves after triggering events. Hope you are doing better, love your channel :)
Why you are travelling 15 times in a year what's your profession?
I had a similar experience. My husband and I were on flight ET302 on March 17th, 2019. Even though Max8s had been grounded by that point, that was the most anxious I've ever been on a flight.
Hi, thank you for this story. My friend died on that flight and from that time I´m struggling to get on a plane. But it helps to know that I´m not alone with struggle. I wish you many amazing adventures in the future!

I lost 2 pilot friends in the airline I was cabin crew for.
We lost 1 plane when I was working there, and another after I left.
After the 1st one, I was unsure if I'd be able to work again, as the shock completely floored me. My nerves were wrecked. I really struggled to get back to work, as did many of my colleagues. We had no expert medical help brought in after the crash (like an experienced counselor), so it made dealing with it extremely difficult. Only an offer to speak to my manager, who had zero qualifications in dealing with such things. It was pointless speaking to him.

Thank you for your support ❤️🙏🏼
Wow, what a story and experience! As an Ethiopian, i’m happy to see the hospitality and help you all received from the people in the countryside-they are the most kindest human beings to welcome and host you all with what they have. Your ability to stay positive and smile through challenges/obstacles is what sets you apart. Your channel and video contents are truly inspirational, highly entertaining, and overall just awesome. Great work!
My grandmother has a similar story. She was going to get on a small plane in Mexico with her family, and they just randomly chose not to go in their trip. The plane she was supposed to get on had technical difficulties and crashed, everyone on the plane died.
In Mexico?
Never heard some news of that plane you mention, when was that?
It's really interesting how unplanned change in events can make a huge difference between life and death. I am really glad that you were given the chance to cancel that flight to go on an unplanned flight to Eritrea a few days earlier. You are such an inspiration that despite what could have happened, you are still continuing to get on many flights to continue travel the world. If I was in your shoes, I would have really been shook up knowing that I could have died. I really like how hospitable the Ethiopian family was with hosting your group when you got stuck out there. It's moments like these where they show how wonderful people in this world really are. Thank you for sharing this story with all of us!
I’m Ethiopian and I’m heartbroken for my brothers and sisters.I deserve that crash instead of them. I’m so sorry for them. Thank You For Visiting Addis Abeba And Respecting Those Who Died On That Plane.
Every Ethiopian I ve met has never called me by name but BROTHER, they are really nice people, am Ugandan btw
What on earth have you done to deserve the crash? Nobody deserves such a horrible death. It's coincidental and bad luck though...
Such a harrowing, heavy, and emotional account. We offer our hearts to the lost souls, stories, and experiences of those lost. Thank you, the roller-coaster of a video and the emotions on it from sadness to anxiety, to fear and relief all point to a renewed sense of mission for you to continue doing a great service: telling stories and documenting experiences in this precious gift of life. Each day is a gift and you help demonstrate how to grieve for those lost as well as take a reminder to live each moment we have fully, experiencing life and telling stories to document our existence in this world.
Much love Lexie ❤
I was on a small 4 seater plane on a "fun flight" with my friend and her dad. The very next flight for that plane and my friends dad had crashed into someones backyard. Everyone on board died. My father NEVER hugged me so tight when we got the news.

Hello
Hello
በየቀኑ ፍቅር መስጠት ልዩ ስጦታ ነው ።
Watching this after watching Manifest with flight 828 hit different 😬. I'm glad the universe had other plans for you.
That is a crazy coincidence that just came out too!
@@LexieLimitless I find the timing of your story and Manifest very interesting because it was around this time, around 6 years ago, that my family and I were supposed to be involved in the next plane disaster. On a flight heading into Miami to catch a connection flight to Columbia my parents, little brother, and I were all seated in the exit row. At the time my little brother and I were too small to be seated there and a flgiht attendant politely asked my little brother and I to move to another empty seat. So we did and in my sassy youngster mind I thought, "Nothing will happen anyway. No point in relocating seats." Then towards the very end of the flight I noticed something extremely odd. See I have a lot of family in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami so I've taken the flight there a few times. Something wasn't right. We were flying low to the ground and I knew we were where we needed to be because we kept circling the Everglades. Then the captain came on the speaker system and said, "Ladies and gentlemen please listen to your flight attendants as they give you brace instructions. Our landing gear is having difficulty coming out. It seems to be stuck. We will continue to do our best to get the landing gear open but as we arrive closer to the run way we ask that you leave everything on the plan and listen to the crew on board. Thank you." Now I was too young to truly see the gravity of the situation but any adult on the plane immediately knew the danger they were in. As we arrived closer to the run way the flight attendants shouted continously for us to out our heads down and get into brace position. Then all of a sudden our landing gear came out. We landed just like any other flight and everyone was sobbing but excited to be alive. Still not grasping the situation we were in I looked outside of the window. Every single emergency respinse unit that the airport had, as well as other first responders, were on the tarmac waiting for the plane to land without landing gear and potentially go up in flames. They were preparing for the worst case scenario.
Watching manifest too! Omg so strange!
@@LexieLimitless that show didnt just come out. That show has been on air since 2018. everybody didnt know about it until it got concelled on nbc and made its way to netflix
@@alvarobuenano2162 scary situation to be in, but just to let you know really nothing could have gone wrong on your flight. Landing gear failures happen quite a bit, and are pretty much always evacuated with no injures
Lexie what an experience and thank you for reminding us of how everyday is so previous and a gift. We mourn all those who were lost in this tragic accident and pray for their loved ones. Also so blessed to have witnessed the kindness of the people of the town. In Ethiopia no one is a stranger and people show kindness and love to all.
you need to deflate the tires if they get stuck in mud, makes it easier for the rubber to move through it. that’s what the army does if i’m not mistaken
Just for future reference if your vehicle ever gets stuck in mud or snow, put it in reverse and back up. That will help you to stop digging yourself into a deeper hole
No one really knows what kinda hand life deals you. But it's important to be grateful for and cherish every moment we have here on earth. You've nicely articulated your story and your experiences, Lexie. It makes for compelling watching. Wishing you luck and safe travels...always. Much love from faraway Bombay.
As a former flight attendant (see previous comments), I often had to be involved in such situations as accidents or incidents. I even witnessed from up close the site of such an event 3 days after the occurrence, and the aircraft involved was very familiar to me as I was "qualified" to fly it. Emotional and surreal.
Then I've also been through many incidents, including a desert/sea storm in Israel which left our pilots pulling their top skills and deepest knowledge of flying to get the whole of us safe and sound on the ground. I also just can't forget this armoured tank taking place on the landing strip in front of our plane, as we were stuck in Sierra Leone in the heart of a rebellion. Yet another one ! Or this humanitarian flight for which I volunteered, to take refugees from Bosnia and fly them in Palestine.
And so many other weird, but punch-proofing, stories.
The most intense one being the sight, hours after signing with my first professional engagement with an airline, of the portraits of the crew members killed in flight. Their DC-10 was destroyed by a bomb over the Ténéré desert, and the investigations led to an attack prepared by the Lybian secret services. Those colleagues, which I never had the honor to know, died for financial and political reasons, and this shook me as it was my very first day in this job. Never shall I forget those faces in the entrance hall of our company.
So my unconditional support goes to you, for what you've accomplished on location, then what you had to face on your way back. It seems this was supposed to be a challenge, as it eventually proved, and you were more than up to it. Bravo, this proves your new skills and processes (including meditation) are the way to go.
I'm wishing you the best, with some hope we can meet one day (along with the Yes family, of course !). Stay safe and take good care.
this was such a well told story my aunt died on this flight and i am sorry for any others reading this that has lost someone in their life.
My dad was supposed to come by that airplane from Nairobi to Addis Ababa (return) but, with God's mercy he is alive.
አባትህን እንኳን እግዚአብሔር አተረፈልህ ።
This is so helpful. As a person who has dealt with anxiety on many levels, it prevented me from traveling via airplane for a long time. My dreams were evaporating while my desire to take back control grew larger. With some help from professionals, friends, family, and UA-cam, I've been flying for a few years and found a way to take back that precious time that you talked about. Thank you for sharing this story; I wish no one had to have their story cut short, but you continuing to share yours instead of bowing down to fear has got to be worth something.
Wow, what a story! Never take any days for granted 🙏. Also, shout out to those local Ethiopians, such kind human beings 💕.
I also found myself in a kind of similar situation back in 2014 when I was flying from Frankfurt to Bangkok over the Donbass region in Ukraine just days before flight MH17 was shot out of the sky. I even remember looking out of the plane window and seeing the fields down in Ukraine!
This is where final destination comes to mind, I do think things happen for a reason. It wasn't your time but I can't imagine how upsetting, scary and heartbreaking that would be for someone with family around let alone when you're so far from your support system there is only so much comfort to be felt by a phone call or video chat. I remember seeing this on the news, my love and sympathy goes out to the loved ones and friends of all the people who died.
Whyyy am I watching this when I am already terrified of flying tomorrow...
Crazy as this may sound, I think the rain was quite good as it felt almost as though Mother Nature was 'crying' with you and could feel the pain in your heart. I also like the fact that though it started raining heavily, you weren't in a hurry to leave the crash site. Thanks for honoring the victims. I am a journalist and would have definitely interviewed you a few days after the crash
Love how u keep it real. It's not all fun & games, rainbows & candy. Yet u still carry on... courage.
Honey, were you even booked on flight 302 or was that just a day you PLANNED to buy a ticket?
Just because a plane crashed on the same day for the same destination you PLANNED doesn't mean you were gonna die.
We’re just glad your alive to tell the tale 🙌🏽! Keep doing you!
WTF would the World look like today without beautiful Souls like you Lexie! Stay blessed and keep Inspiring us.
You remind me of real-life Lara Croft. Very inspirational journeys, can't imagine how many stories you have to tell that's not on videos.

I am from Ethiopia and I can witness how that crash was terrible. Thank you Lexie for showing this to the world and I really like the way you present it. All the struggles you overcame explains how you guys are strong mentally and physically. Keep up the good work!! You are limitless!
You are so informed about everything you are saying and that's so impressive. I can watch your documentaries 24/7. I am so grateful to God that you took your flight ahead of this unforeseen disaster. our hearts won't forget those we have lost.

Oh man... That flight hit hard. Had friends of multiple people I know, and crashed right by a lake we used to holiday on. Glad for the twist in events that saved your life.
Also, are you going to post footage of Eritrea? Would love to reminisce. Haven't really seen much since we were rushed out when I was 9, in 2002. :(
Also, have friends who were on the EgyptAir Flight 804 plane on the Cairo - CDG leg, meaning they were on that plane with that crew just hours before it went down. Crazy to process these kind of things in life.
Another great video. Even making it is a new adventure unto itself. Many thanks to you, Lexi.
I had developed a fear of flying because of a story told to me by someone else who was on a flight which had a very serious problem. It ended up landing, but there was a major incident during the meal service. The food went flying everywhere. Even the pilot said this had never happened during his flying experience up until then.
I have since gotten over this fear.
God Bless You and Yours!
I was traveling in Feb 2020 then 2 weeks later the world shut down. Then in January 2021, I got delayed in Chicago for 3 days and 2 weeks later, hotel quarantine in Canada became a thing of power from the government of Canada. Now I'm going to see my boyfriend for the first time since January. Fate brings us places for a reason. Also in sept 2011, Brian Littrells wife was supposed to be on one of the flights that crashed. She changed her flight to be with her backstreet husband in Toronto instead. They took a bus to Toronto from Boston that week.
You mean 2001 but I know the story you’re talking about!
Thank God you are alive, cheers to many more adventurous stories and journeys!! Love you Lexie
You’re so strong for doing this, Lexi! I’m glad God had another plan for you.
I get that you felt touched by this tragedy because of your proximity to it but.. calling it a near death experience? Doing that whole ceremony as if you're visiting your "should have been grave" ? I know the sensationalist tone is for the video but this part came off as insensitive in regards to the people who actually lost their lives in that flight you never even booked.
Such a well told story. Respect for sharing this about the Ethiopian crash. I flew in a small engine plane to sasebo in a severe storm. Lightening stuck the plane twice. Swore that was the end for me. Could only imagine what they much have experienced in their last moments.
My dad often travels to Kenya for work. Once, he was booked to leave on a Friday, but the plane was delayed repetitively, and eventually canceled. He would have left Sunday, except that he ended up in the hospital with an inflamed gallbladder the next day. If the flight hadn't been canceled, he would have ended up in a medical emergency either on a plane or in a country with poor or no healthcare. It was a very scary time, but something was definitely looking out for my dad then.
May be the world hasn’t been informed but this little community were commemorating their passing every months according to the Ethiopian Orthodox Christians faith they commemorate 7th day 40th 80th day and year...like the Jewish (Yahrzeit candle customs), to remember those gone by.. these are my poor ppl but with the warmest hearts in the world who give anything for anyone... weeping right now..
Wauw this story! i can totally understand your fear of flying and admire you for not letting it stop you.
Thank God that you left 5 days early 🤞 and reaching your dream. Really hats off to you for paying tribute those souls and letting us to be a part of that too 😃😄😃

Boeing is to blame for the loss of the 737 max aircraft in Indonesia and Ethiopia.
You are just awesome. Thank you for coming to our country.... ❤️
Something like this happened to me. I had been to the exact same place two days before when the Barcelona's terrorist attack happened...
My colleague and I were going on a business trip from Brussels to Munchen. Because flights were cheaper the day before from Eindhoven Airport, we left a day earlier. In the morning of March 22th, 2016 (when we were supposed to leave) a bomb exploded in the departure hall of Brussels Airport, causing hundreds of people to get injured, of which more than a dozen died. It looked like a war zone and everything was basically wrecked. Luck was with us back then, and it felt so unreal to have avoided disaster and possibly death, but many people were not as lucky as my colleague and I, which feels so unfair. I might not know what you felt exactly when you were standing in the fields where that aircraft crashed, but the least I can say is that I can relate. Life is soo precious, yet peculiarly random, or some call it fate. Whatever it is that one believes: enjoying every part of it, exploring and creating memories is my way of making it worthwhile.
Good luck and keep up the adventures!
My older brother (he’s a pilot) travelled on an Ethiopian 737MAX from our hometown to Addis Ababa and when I heard about this, I thought that it could’ve been his plane. He could’ve been on a doomed plane yet he was so excited to get on… life is too short.
That’s just crazy. Funny how fate plays itself out
Someone was definitely looking out for you on that day . Such a sad loss of many lives
Who was looking out for the 100s of other victims? It was a lucky coincidence for Lexi.
Airlines did not inform their 737 type-rated pilots that the MCAS system even existed. hence the confusion of the pilots when the aircraft became uncontrollable. R.I.P
Fun story you'd probably appreciate. This took place in Washington state. A few years back, I was going through a divorce (I promise this is relevant, not spam) and one day I went to one of the hearings and I sat outside on one of the benches. There were a few women there having a conversation about 'whatcha doing at the courthouse?' One of the ladies and her legal team was there taking legal action against Boeing. She mentioned a few things. One, her department was rejecting products off of the production line for safety. Those pieces were later used on the aircrafts regardless. Two, safety features are being implemented into the aircrafts without being standard and also without being implemented into the manuals. When the first 747MAX went down, I wondered if this is what she was talking about? I have NEVER seen her again and I'm not optimistic that she won her case.
I wish you see the other perspective of the cause for the crash! It is obvious - Boeing!
Boeing didn’t tell the airlines. They said it was like the previous 737
The Indonesian Lion Air crash the took place in October of 2018 hits close to home for me. I was traveling in SE Asia during this time and I was actively looking/booking a flight to go from Thailand back to Hong Kong, so I could catch my flight back to the US. I had been extensively looking at flying with Lion Air and then a few days before I was supposed to depart the crash happened. The crash happened on October 29, 2018 and I was leaving November 4, 2018.
I developed similar anxiety about flying at that age too and I've always flown since I was an infant...it eventually faded away though
Beautiful yet terrifying story. So touching. Thank you for this!
What an insane story. And documented so well. I love the final message at the end too. Wow! Well done all around.
Imagine being a syrian or iraqi and having everyday near death experiences...
Thank you for sharing your experience and journey as always. I actually saw the documentary about that flight and exactly what happened. I felt so bad for the whole plane as well as the airline. Boeing didn't take the blame for it until way later. I'm glad you ran into great people as always. Have a safe flight everywhere.
Am Ugandan in BC and I lost people I know on that flight, all I can say is u blessed and thank God for every passing day of u life, from now on.
I do not know if you are religious but my God was looking out for you for you
Aww you’re so nice!!
why was god not looking out for the people who were on that flight?
@@mindfulnessmeditations4962 Because they were probably democrats
@@CaptainAmerykah1911 what’s wrong with Democrats..
@@Ioveydior Their actions and policies prove that they hate God. They kill babies, They put the alphabet community over christians, And if you earn a decent penny they will steal it from you and give it to multiple baby Pumping Unmarried women
Forgive me asking, I’m just trying to clarify-you we’re originally booked on the flight for the 10th. and because your visa came in early, you flew on the 5th instead?
Yes that's how I understood it
I also wonder if that was the only flight going to that destination on the 10th, because if that's the case, that makes it even scarier
wtf omg
No, she was never booked on the flight that crashed. But she conceivably could have flown that day from the same city because that was when she was expecting her visa to another country to be approved. Of course she needs to make it sound a bit more dramatic (it is literally her job to get views), but still a reminder to be grateful because every day is a gift. And great story-telling. Interesting video.
@@ashleylaurentravels i thought it was offensive and a waste of time to go to a place you didn't die but other did, maybe give money to charity or help people who are alive...stupid.
Hey Lexie your channel would soon be on top never stop working pls lots of love from Pakistan :')
This pops up while I’m in Ethiopia I’m Ethiopian but I’m glad your safe!!!!
Fearful flyer here. I tried to avoid airline travel as much as possible. But there are times when I have to fly, whether it be for work or in my personal life. Whenever I do have to fly, I try to sedate myself on Dramamine to help me pass out, otherwise I go into full-blown panic mode. People try to reassure me with the odds, saying that I can fly without fear because nothing bad will happen. But then I remind them of all the poor souls who were tragically killed in airplane crashes/accidents and supposedly those souls had the same odds. So it's fair to say that I'll never feel safe in an airplane. I just wish there was some other form of transportation that didn't involve flying 6 miles above the Earth's surface at 500+ MPH, but unfortunately, there's not many options here in the U.S. The train system (Amtrak) is a joke. If we had reliable bullet trains like Japan, then I would visit my family on the east coast more often.
Is it the lack of control for you during a flight that makes you fear plane crashes more than train and cars? Reading your paragraph makes me think so.
@@wakeuprjay it's lack of control and lack of trust.
@@Sanguine_Addiction I see. I have the exact same fear of lacking control.
@@wakeuprjay and that's the reason why I don't fly often, and why I haven't seen my family in years.
Click bait title for some self indulgent melodrama. You were never booked on that flight. It’s not the flight you should have died on. It’s a flight you COULD have died on. If you had booked this flight then changed it last minute, that would be a different situation. This just feels like you’re using a tragedy to talk about yourself and to make UA-cam content that’ll get clicks. It feels gross.
Yeah just a easy way of her to profit off of this tragic event. She obviously didn’t give a sht about the victims
Clickbaiting on deaths of others? You were not even close to being on that flight, thousands of people miss deadly flight by a day, even an hour and they don’t brag or make vlogs about it. Shameful !
Thanks for sharing your story. We all have death experience stories but we learn from it and move on. Don't let it hunt you.
Wow, this has been a great experience. Your excursions, particularly ones like this one where you face uneasiness, danger, and excitement, have inspired me to stretch my limits and control while also eradicating my anxieties.
You are one of my sources of motivation and inspiration to never give up on life's obstacles, but to use them as a battery to push myself further in my limits.
Thanks for sharing your story Lexie I remember the plane crashes it is sad that those people died due to Boeing not training the pilots on the new equipment.
JESUS! What a great experience to be told, and it ended up very well told. Also, doing the outro during a turbulence was kinda of a challenge like the one you do with prop with Skillshare hahahaha
“How do I make this horrific tragedy all about myself 🤔”
I couldn't figure out if your flight was before or after 302 and by how many days. Also, was it the same flight number because usually everyday the same flight number departs at the same time.
I think she was supposed to be on the flight at the exact departure time
she said there was a multi day delay between her flight and the flight that crashed but I guess it still affected her.
@@faithwithsheldon thankfully missing it by days.

There is nothing wrong with the airline, it's all Boeing's fault
@@ismaelmohammed6008 Let's not forget that the FAA didn't help by playing buddy-buddy with Boeing throughout the 737 MAX's certification process.

I changed my mission trip plans and went another direction two days earlier to Tanzania. When I returned a week later to Addis, I had a completely unmarked, white "replacement" plane for the flight. That's when it really hit me that my EA flight crew were probably still feeling the loss of their co-workers and still had to carry on with their jobs.
21:10 I get anxiety on flights as well so definitely can relate to that reaction to turbulence 😂
Holy shit what a way to make it all about yourself. You didn’t even have a ticket booked on the plane!
Yeah if she genuinely gave a sht about the victims of this tragic event she wouldn’t do this
Just an easy way to profit off of other peoples deaths
A former work colleague died on this flight. So young, so tragically sad 😢 r.i.p Ekta.
So you weren't actually scheduled on that flight??
That's what I was wondering.
Yeah that was my take, didn't actually buy a ticket. Just a story of what could have happened if she booked a flight on that day which makes the title click bait imo
@@yuseikikuchi1171 i agree. I repeated the first part of the Video twice to understand the plot of her story but i got more questions instead as she is not clear. Did she know that she would get her passport on the 10th? Yes or not? If yes, had she already bought the flightticket for the 10th? It sounds it was only a wish she had but she was actually not scheduled 🤔 Good analytical and comprehesion reading skills, guys!

Great video, glad you're okay. But yeah that 4x4 was absolutely useless. Practically one-wheel drive, looked like no drive to the front wheels at all, and open wheeling the rear. Plus they didn't let tyres down and fairly average looking tyres. Probably would have got about as far in a Camry..
You are like the story teller friend always there to inspire and educate with stories. Thanks for all the amazing videos. Been here right from the start and looking forward to your book. Take care and stay #Limitless
Amazing video & I'm glad to hear your story !!
I just have to say this.
Lexie's story is NOT a survival story. Her story is NOT honoring those who died in this tragic accident. The victims who were there spent the last moments of their life in pure terror; Lexie was NOT there and has NO connection to those experiences.
Sharing this story and pretending she could have died is shameful and sad. Again, SHE WASN'T THERE. Her visit to the crash site was not respectful because once again she made it about her in making a big deal about the rain "not wanting her to leave." The cinematic footage was all about her and her monetary goals to get views, not about honoring the people who died there.
I am glad that she wasn't there so she wasn't counted among the victims, but please don't make these horrible events about you.
Your so inspiring and beautiful i am glad you are still here to be able to tell your story i wish you all the love and best wishes and good luck for your future remember your worth it please stay strong and keep smiling because your smile is infectious love your positivity your so brave to be able to go back to the place where it all happened remember your a phenomenal legend mate
This would have been the flight you should have died on only if you were booked to fly on it and missed it or changed it last minute. So NO it was ABSOLUTELY NOT the flight you should have died on because you were NOT booked on it initially. I personally know someone who missed this flight because she missed the first leg to Addis Ababa due to traffic on her way to the airport from her home country. It still haunts her to this day. So you who wasn't even booked on this flight having such a misleading title all for views is super disrespectful to the victims and their families.
Thank u! I thought I was the ONLY one who thought it was completely messed up for this person to take another person's tragedy and make it ABOUT THEM! so disrespectful and disgusting..
@@ashleighrose8115 same. I scrolled through the comments. I wanted to really give her the benefit of the doubt and maybe her intentions were good, but she was never booked or officially meant to be on this flight in any way. Very odd she feels so connected and made this video about it.
I see where both of you are getting at. Yes she’s a little dramatic about it all but being that this is what she does for a living and being days away from being on that same flight route and plane it would of been highly likely she would have been on that plane. I had a very similar event happen to me with 9/11. Let me put it this way it’s like being on the interstate and you see a horrible accident and you left 10 minutes late and you go wow good thing I left 10 minutes late. Or you leave 10 minutes early and hear about it on the radio on the way home. I agree she’s a little dramatic about it all but then again she’s a woman 😂 and does social media for a living so hard to not show narcissistic tendencies
okay maybe instead of SHOULD HAVE she should have titled kt COULD HAVE.
I flew from Kamchatka to Moscow yesterday (6 July 2021) and exactly when I departed the AN-26 flight that crashed was boarding. I even looked up where Palana was and saw people get on the bus to board the plane. When I landed 9 hours later I was barraged with messages asking me if I was ok. Only then I realised everyone I saw waiting to get on the bus are here no more. 😭😭😭😭 This was way too close for comfort and now seeing this video really resonates with me. My thoughts are with the victims of all tragedies
Such a important share story! Thank you, i love your channel!!!!
