This doesn’t really have much to do with religion, but this was quite interesting because a lot of religious people came out of the woodwork claiming god had saved this woman’s life by making her miss her flight. I guess they were wrong…

Woman who missed Flight 447 is killed in car crash

An Italian woman who arrived late for the Air France plane flight that crashed in the Atlantic last week has been killed in a car accident.

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.

    Anyone who’s watched the Final Destination movies knows what REALLY happened!

    That comment, as dark as it was, made me laugh heartedly.

    Very clever. And guess what. I was just at the theaters to watch Transformers and there was a preview for another Final Destination movie.

    Yes, exactly. Final Destination. Before her death in the car crash, the idea of a supernatural influence seems absurd (why didn’t “God” care about the other airplane passengers).

    After the car crash death, the universe is more consistent. Not nice, but consistent.

    I’m just a little less atheist than before I read this post.
