An Italian citizen who was late for the crashed Air France plane died in a car accident. The accident happened a few days after the terrible and mysterious plane crash
Italian citizens of German descent, the retired spouses Johanna and Kurt Ganthaler, on May 31, were only a few minutes late in Rio de Janeiro for the tragic Air France flight. Having missed the fatal flight, the couple returned to Europe a few days later via Munich. Home, in the city of Merano, they decided to get on a rented car.
On a section of the highway near the Austrian city of Kufstein on the border with Italy, their car, for reasons that have not yet been clarified, lost control and, having flown into the oncoming lane, collided with a truck, the Vzglyad newspaper reports. As a result, Ganthaler's wife died on the highway between Munich Airport and the Italian alpine city of Brennero. Her husband is in serious condition at the hospital. And his fate is still unknown.
Earlier it was reported about a few more lucky ones who did not get on the ill-fated plane. In particular, the 37-year-old Brazilian João Marcel Calas, who, together with a friend, was going to visit Spain and Portugal, but did not get on the liner due to an expired passport. His friend also changed his mind about flying at the last moment. In addition, a French couple, who flew to Brazil on vacation and intended to return to France on Sunday evening, could not do so, as there were no empty seats on the flight.
As a reminder, the Air France passenger plane Airbus-330, flying AF447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, disappeared without a trace over the Atlantic on June 1. The mystery of this plane crash may remain unsolved. Finding black boxes that could shed light on what caused the plane crash is difficult. Despite the fact that flight recorders can be at great depths, the sea water will corrode them after 30 days, making it impossible to decipher the records.
