Woman who arrived late for doomed Air France flight killed in crash
June 12, 2009 - 12:00PM
An Italian woman who arrived late for the Air France flight that crashed in the Atlantic has been killed in a car accident.

Johanna Ganthaler had been on holiday in Brazil with her husband and missed Air France Flight 447 after turning up late at Rio de Janeiro airport on May 31, The Times online has reported.

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, from Bolzano-Bozen province, had managed to pick up a flight from Rio the following day.

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

1. In support of the theory that when your number is up,
its pretty much up, give or take a few weeks.

2. I thought the same thing when I saw this story.
Probably just coincidence though.

4. If she was late for her flight, she probably poorly managed her time.
And if she poorly managed her time, she was likely speeding and/or multitasking in the car when she swerved across the road into an oncoming truck.

If she'd been on-time for the flight, she would have at least gotten her family a huge settlement.
