Chief operating officer of Facebook, Sheryl Sandberg, escaped Saturday's disastrous Seoul-to-San Francisco flight, as she switched to a United flight returning from a Korean business trip.

Sandberg switched flights so her family could use miles, which saved her from crashing aboard Asiana with Facebook executive David Eun.

According to the New York Daily News, the powerful web executive was slated to fly with family members and three colleagues on Asiana Airlines Flight 214, but the group changed its plans.

Sandberg posted on her Facebook page that the group was originally going to take the Asiana flight that just crash-landed.
