Thai air crash lucky trio jet home

THREE teachers who survived a plane crash in Thailand touched down on home soil yesterday for an emotional reunion with family and friends.

Sisters Aoife and Orlagh Creamer, and friend Lesley Dowdall cut short their dream holiday in south-east Asia after their jet smashed into a disused control tower in the holiday resort of Koh Samui.

But it won’t be long before two of the girls are back in the sky. Lesley is flying to Edinburgh next week and Aoife is jetting to New York for Thanksgiving in November.
