Johanna Ganthaler, an Italian senior citizen, had been vacationing in Brazil with her husband, Kurt. They were due to take Air France Flight 447 from Rio De Janeiro to Paris on May 31, but missed it after arriving late at the airport.

The plane crashed into the Atlantic four hours after takeoff. All 228 aboard lost their lives.

The Ganthalers flew to Germany the next day. Upon landing in Munich, the two rented a vehicle and decided to drive home, Italy's ANSA news agency reported Thursday. While driving through Kufstein, Austria, their vehicle swerved into the opposite lane, hitting a truck.

Ganthaler died at a local hospital, while her husband remains in critical condition, ANSA reported. It was not immediately clear when she died.

Is this coincidence or fate?
Do you believe that when your time is up no matter what, you will kick the bucket and kiss it goodbye?

It is sad, yet ironic.
It takes longer to drive to the airport and get clearance than the actual flight, and it is more dangerous to drive to the airport than the acrual flight.

Entertaining movie

Also, this should be called "voragir" not "jakatagir".

It's coincidence. And thus also fate. I do believe that when it comes to life and death we have no control over who stays alive and who goes. But I think we all believe that we are going to live forever, and that's what makes us all to have plans for the future.
