Kufstein, Austria—

A sad story, but still very strange. Johanna Ganthaler and her husband Kurt were late arriving to the airport and extremely lucky when they narrowly missed boarding Air France Flight 447 on June 1, 2009 from Rio de Janerio, Brazil to Paris, France, that later plunged into the Atlantic Ocean killing all 228 people on board.

Johanna and Kurt counted their lucky stars and continued their travels to Austria. Just over a week after the near miss on flight 447, while driving near Kufstein, Austria, their car swerved into the path of an oncoming truck. Johanna was killed and Kurt was badly injured.

The moral of the story: When it’s your time, it’s your time.
