Italian who missed AF 447 flight dies in car crash
Posted: June 10th, 2009 | Author: AF447 | Filed under: AF 447 | Tags: missed connections |An Italian woman who arrived to the airport late for the fatal Air France flight 447 has died in a car accident, according to ANSA news agency.
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.
The woman died at the hospital that she was taken to. Her husband is still in critical condition.
That is such a sad story. You escape death in one tragic accident only to die in another a few days later.










































The final destination
I am beginning to believe that it is a person’s fate to die on a certain date and everything was predestined for the person to die.
If one has to die, there’s nothing one can do about it…his/her fate is already written in his/her destiny. Sad but that’s life.
Well that sure sucks! Though they do say you are more likely to perish in an auto accident than an airplane accident…
Just incredible!!! “Double bad-luck” or Destiny??? “To be…or NOT to be….that is the question.”
It is horrible that passengers means NOTHING to aircraft companies!!! Many different types of planes have been having trouble with their speed sensors since 1996!!!
rumor, nothing mentioned in ANSA

everything is written we are just following law of Karma
I mean 1 week before she missed that flight and 2nd week again she met with an accident
Its all destiny
Wow this is like when you cannot cheat death. Reminds me of the final destination movies
Eeeeewwww…!!! Thats so creepy….. No one can escape Fate…..!!!
this has to be a spoof, it would be elsewhere..
very sorry for her but it is her time and she just can’t stop it.
I don’t think this is destiny. This is fear psychosis. They were obviously harassed by what had happened and how they had just escaped because of pure luck. And in that state, they probably did not focus enough on their car drive, as they were still too disturbed. It is very disappointing, but probably opens up a new theory of what the government should do - people who just miss big accidents by such fluke should be taken care of as well for a while.
What’s more, from the looks of it, they took a car because they were probably afraid to fly.
“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.”
Makes it look like they were paranoid of taking a flight and hence they took a car

A Sheer bad time on the part of that women. In b/w is there any official announcement of this news if so I Pray her soul rest in peace

People, it’s a classic urban myth created to perpetuate a belief in destiny. Do some research.
