‘Final Destination’ proves real for would-be Flight 447 passenger
There’s no cheating death, as poor Johanna Ganthaler found out. She missed Flight 447 only to die in a car crash less than two weeks later. From the Times:
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.
Naturally, the comments section immediately devolved into an argument about god — I won’t bore you with reprints — until one reader set the atheists right with this astute theological observation:
I am a Christian, and Christianity has been around alot more than 2009 years maybe before you make comments you should REALLY think about them.. lol, 2009 is AD, which is after the death of Christ, there were ALOT more people before –Lin, Jax, USA [emphasis mine]
Well. Case closed then.

The religious person will use this one event to prove God exists.
The Scientist will look back at every plane crash, add up the number of people who missed those flights and calculate their longevity. The scientist will then spend months researching every factual number and come to a solid conclusion like: “The average lifespan of a plane crash survivor is 50.4 years”
