Woman who missed Flight 447 is killed in car crash

An Italian woman who arrived late for the Air France plane flight that crashed in the Atlantic last week has been killed in a car accident.

Johanna Ganthaler, a pensioner from Bolzano-Bozen province, had been on holiday in Brazil with her husband Kurt and missed Air France Flight 447 after turning up late at Rio de Janeiro airport on May 31.

All 228 people aboard lost their lives after the plane crashed into the Atlantic four hours into its flight to Paris.

The ANSA news agency reported that the couple had managed to pick up a flight from Rio the following day.

It said that Ms Ganthaler died when their car veered across a road in Kufstein, Austria, and swerved into an oncoming truck. Her husband was seriously injured.

A similar thing happened to a cousin of mine, he was a cook on a train Dublin to Cork when he swapped shifts with another cook. Train crashed and the cook was killed, one year later he was asked to change shifts, train crashed and he was killed. When your time is up

Was it the Cherryville crash?

I dont believe in your time being up at all - it's probably more likely to be psychological effects.

For example, if you are being followed by a police car, you're more likely to do something stupid.

If you are being watched while typing, you're more likely to make a mistake.

If you've just dodged death in quite a spectacular way, I reckon you'd be very superstitious and be "looking" for death. You'd be on edge, and it'd probably be more likely that you'd be in an accident. Do yous not think?

AP's example is very wierd though - the odds of that are quite extrodinary!!

It's refreshing to see some rational though on CUK

Yes, I think so, it's a few years ago now. Two crashes, both times the buffet car were badly damaged as they were very old, and too expenses to upgrade/replace at the time.

If it is the cherryville one - it was a long time ago but I remember how horrific it was!

I'm pretty superstitious and do believe that when it's your time to go, thats it.
