Final destination or just bad luck

11/06/09 - 0 comments

In a scary case of life imitating art, a woman who was late to board the ill fated Flight 447, which crashed in the Atlantic last week, has died in a car crash.

Johanna Ganthaler, a pensioner from Italy, had been on holiday in Brazil with her husband, turned up late to board the flight to Paris from Rio de Janeiro airport, which ditched in the ocean four hours after take off, and had to fly home the next day.

The couple were both in the car when it swerved into oncoming traffic on an Austrian road and was hit by a truck. Johanna was thought to have been killed instantly and her husband was seriously injured.

Scary potatoes indeed.
