Woman who escaped Air France crash killed in car accident »

Posted By dissent 5 months, 2 weeks ago in News

A woman who arrived at the airport late and missed the Air France flight A 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris on May 31, was killed in a fatal car crash on her way home with her husband days after the disastrous air accident, Italian media reported.

According to an Italian newspaper, Johanna Ganthaler, a German citizen of Italian descendent, showed up late at the airport and missed the Air France flight A 447. All passengers onboard that plane were killed after the plane crashed into Atlantic off Brazil’s coast four hours after takeoff in a severe storm.

On their way back to Europe after vacation via Munich, Germany, the couple decided to rent a car and drive back home in Italy's Bolzano-Bozen province. On June 9, Jahanna Ganthaler was killed and her husband seriously injured when the couple's car lost control and veered across a road in Kufstein, Austria, and crashed with an oncoming truck.

    she missed her flight, the fateful A 447 from rio de janeiro to paris and, thanking her seemingly lucky stars, returns to europe just over a week after the airbus went down in the atlantic only to die in a crash in the rental car on the way home...... wtf?

    is this just some macabre coincidence or is life like a cosmic hourglass?... when your time's up your time's up?

    Irony can be pretty ironic at times.

    I've seen the roads in Kufstein Austria......scary! I guess the only surprise is the time. The husband didn't die.
    but to be honest if I read this story and also missed that flight...I'd seriously be watching!
