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 burnt toast theory is the idea that a small inconvenience can end up being beneficial in the end by preventing you from being involved in a larger disaster.
If whatever caused them to miss their flights hadn’t happened – if they hadn’t burnt their toast and been forced to remake it, delaying them – they’d have been on the flight, and gotten hurt or died, which is likely worse than whatever prevented them from making their flights.
