Italian who missed AF 447 flight meets her ‘Final Destination’ in car crash!
As I doing my customary surfs through the tubes this morning, I come across this heart-wrenching story. Apparently an Italian who was late for the fatal Air France 447 flight, and was forced to take a later flight, was involved in a fatal car crash in Austria as they drove home.
“Johanna Ganthaler, a pensioner from the Bolzano-Bozen Province (South Tyrol, Italy) and her husband, Kirk, were on vacation in Brazil and missed flight 447 after arriving to the airport late. They were able to board a later flight and avoided being victims of the horrible crash.
The couple rented a car in Munich, Germany and decided to drive home to Italy. On their way home, while driving through Kufstein, Austria, their car ended up in the opposite lane and they had a head on collision with a truck.”
It’s no surprise that the first thought to mind for most people is the 2000 supernatural thriller, Final Destination, that involved the same premise of a group of students who “cheated” death by avoiding a fatal plane crash after their peer has a premonition of the crash. In the end, they find out that they in fact cannot cheat death as each student is killed throughout the film.
If your like me, goosebumps ran through your entire body as you read this story. This story shows how “supernatural thrillers” always have a basis that was formed through reality. And apparently if it’s your time to go, it’s time for you to go.
Furthermore, the woman’s husband is reported to be in critical condition, so my thoughts and prays go to the family and friends of the couple.
