An Italian woman who arrived late for the Air France plane flight that crashed in the Atlantic last week, killing all 228 on board, has died in a car accident, Italy's ANSA news agency reported.

Johanna Ganthaler, a pensioner from the Bolzano-Bozen Province (South Tyrol), and her husband Kurt, were vacationing in Brazil and missed Air France flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris on June 1. The couple took a flight to Europe later that day.

The car veered off the road near Kufstein, Austria, killing Johanna.

Prayers for her and her family.

If anyone here gets the chance to go to Kufstein, Austria make sure you go to the castle called Kufstein. Fascinating.

Wasn’t it based on a Stephen King story?

It reminds me of the time, I had second thoughts and didn’t get on an roller coaster, that then flew off the rails killing everyone on the ride. Ever since every couple of days, I narrowly avoid some freak accident that almost kills me.

Even now I think I hear water dripping on the computer extension coard running to my comp...ZZZZAAAAPPPP!

Something similar happened to me. Anyway, I'm just sitting here typing away under a huge hanging light fixture that just started making creaking sounds. I sure hope it doesn't...THUNK!
