If This Isn't Irony, It's Damn Close

Back in 2000 there was a forgettable horror movie called Final Destination. A group of high school students going on their senior trip narrowly miss their flight to Paris. The plane blows up, killing everyone on board. The premise of the movie was that they were destined to die. Death, not one to be cheated, starts claiming the survivors one by one. Pretty far-fetched, eh?

Then again, maybe not.

Johanna Ganthaler of Italy was supposed to be on Air France 447 but arrived at the airport in Rio too late. She and her husband ended up returning to Europe the next day on a different plane.

Earlier this week Ganthaler was killed in a car crash along an Austrian road. Her husband was seriously injured.
