Can someone explain the “burnt toast theory” to me?

1.15K viewsOther

I just saw a scary image of the wall of a plane being ripped out mid-flight and someone in the comment section said that it was a perfect example of the burnt toast theory.

The two people that were supposed to sit in the area of the wall collapse missed their flights that day so no one got hurt but what does this have to do with the burnt toast theory?

the best [example](https://podcasts.musixmatch.com/podcast/the-moth-01gv2bv14079rhv1ch6dvacmr7/episode/the-moth-radio-hour-live-from-jackson-01gttyyf006t95pd61attz7fp4) i’ve heard of this was from an episode of The Moth, a storytelling podcast.

the theme for the night was about flirting with disaster, and one of the storytellers got up and spoke about how he went to a gay bar in Milwaukee in the 80’s and he was so infatuated with one mysterious good looking man at the bar who always went home with a different stranger. the storyteller was crushed that he never got picked up, to the point where when he was the last guy available, the stranger decided to leave alone.

come to find out, it was Jeffrey Dahmer who was taking boys home from that bar…talk about dodging a bullet.
