WASHINGTON — Tom Newberry may be a candidate for the unluckiest man in America.
The plane he was aboard Wednesday night on the way to his wedding--USAir Flight 5050--crashed on takeoff at New York’s La Guardia Airport.
His wedding was scheduled for Saturday in Wilmington, N.C., which is in the path of Hurricane Hugo.
Newberry’s honeymoon was to have been in the Virgin Islands, which were devastated earlier this week by the hurricane and subsequently by looting and rioting.
His plans now? The couple will take “a different track,” he said Thursday on NBC’s “Today” show.
