Life Imitates Final Destination: Woman Who Survived Missed Air France Flight 447 Died in Car Crash 2 Weeks Later

   The title is a little misleading. She wasn't on the flight nor did she survive it. She barely missed the flight, which I agree is a lot like Final Destination, but you should be more careful with how you title the articles.

   Wow, one would naturally think that anyone who happened to miss that flight would live on forever without any chance of something bad ever happening again... Who knew someone would die from some other cause...

   what would be really creepy is if her husband dies later...

   @Timm:

   You must understand that the IPU works in mysterious ways.

   It hasn't actually been two weeks yet since the crash, so there's a little mistake...
   According to the italian article here http://www.ilgiornale.it/a.pic1?ID=357991 she died on the same day. They landed in Austria, got into a car (their son got into another car), and then had the accident on the way back to Italy. Her husband is still in the hospital.

    ...Ah, missed that plane...?
    Pity. But no worry-

    Foreigner1, some other people missed their flight and were 'saved', will the Grim Reaper come after them next?

    Can't really say I'm surprised... people in Europe are freaking insane on the road. About gave me a heart attack when we went there for vacation.

    I see no irony here at all. These are completely different events. They have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

    Our brains are wired to look for patterns, even when they don't exist. This brings up the fallacy of "fate". This bizarre fixation towards "fate" blocks us from reality.

    What is reality? We will all die one day. There is no pattern. There is no "meaning". Our bodies are very fragile. One day, they will simply give out, or something happens to interrupt vital bodily processes.

    Is this "depressing"? I don't think so. Depression doesn't stop something from happening, so why embrace it? Truth is, if one accepts this reality, they can let go their fear and the illusions this fear brings.

    I like this, it is interesting, I don't know why some people don't but it's interesting and don't stop posting random/neat stories like this because people have issues.

    Foreigner1- Lol... I'm in the US... There are crazy drivers here as well, don't get me wrong, but the driving in Europe, in the places we went to scared me to death.. specially Italy.

    Condolences to the family. Whether it was her time or not, she's gone and someone out there is grieving. Car accidents are so sad.

    It is sad that someone is out there grieving for the death of this woman, and my sincerest condolences go out to her family. We should realize that if it isnt ur time, it isnt your time. But when it is, there is nothing that you can do it about, but hope that you have done well enough to have a beautiful afterlife. It is more important how you live your life than how you die... Remember to treat those you love like you love them, you never know when you may never pass their way again.

    Peace n Blessings!
