Woman who missed Flight 447 is killed in car crash

Philippe Naughton


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.

3. If I were a fundie, I'd say God REALLY needed her by his side...

...but then I'd have to come to grips about how, if God took the plane down w/ 228 aboard, and then the car she was in, why in the hell did he allow her to be late for the flight in the first place???

...then my head would explode.:D

7. The argument could be made that she had free will to miss the plane, but

she could not miss her final destination.
