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

1.16K 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 burned toast theory is that when you burn your toast (or experience some other small inconvenience), the time that wastes you could save you from some other major accident or similar.

The people that missed their flight would be dead – but supposedly some silly reason (like burning their toast) meant that they missed their flight.
