Woman who missed fatal flight 447--Dies in Car Crash

Talk about an ill twist of fate. An Italian woman who arrived late for the Air France flight that crashed in the Atlantic last week.was killed in a car crash. Having missed the doomed flight, she cheated death once, but was unable to do so a 2nd time around.

Johanna Ganthaler, had been on vacation in Brazil with her husband Kurt, when they arrived at the Rio De Janeiro airport late on May 31st. The ANSA reported that they took another flight back to Austria the following day. All of the passengers aboard the ill-fated flight died, after it crashed 4 hours into its flight to Paris.

This certainly gives meaning to the old adage, that we are here on "burrowed time".
