A County Donegal man travelling to his friend's surprise 50th birthday in Australia has made it Down Under for the big day despite his bus to Dublin airport going up in flames.
A County Donegal man was determined to make his best friend's surprise birthday in Australia after a bus he was travelling in to Dublin airport caught fire.
Mr Crawford made his flight to Doha in Qatar and then on to Sydney to make his best friend's birthday celebrations.A County Donegal man who was on a bus that caught fire at the start of a 10,649 mile journey to surprise his oldest friend on his 50th birthday in Australia has successfully made it for the big day.
"He is one of my oldest friends. We haven't seen in each other in years and I wasn't going to miss it," he said. But just before 21:00 local time, only moments into the journey, the bus came to an abrupt stop at the side of the road. "We were well enough away but as it started to go there was some heat coming off it - within half an hour it was just a shell."
He said there wasn't much chat on the bus before the fire, but after the blaze, everyone was chatting to everyone.
