COINCIDENCE
Two brothers in Bermuda were killed while riding the same motorcycle in the same street by the same taxi and by the same driver, carrying the same passenger; but exactly a year apart: 1962 and 1963
OH BABY
In Detroit sometime in the 1930s, a young mother must have been eternally grateful to a man named Joseph Figlock. As Figlock was walking down the street, the mother's baby fell from a high window onto Figlock. The baby's fall was broken and both man and baby were unharmed. After a year, the accident happened again involving the same baby, falling from the same window and onto the unsuspecting Joseph Figlock as he was again passing beneath. And again, both the baby and Figlock survived the event. (Source: Mysteries of the Unexplained)
TIME TO LIVE AND DIE
Most babies are born between midnight and 6 A.M., it is the same time when most heart attacks occurs.
BULLET ON A TREE
Henry Ziegland thought he had dodge fate. In 1883, he broke off a relationship with his girlfriend, who then committed suicide. The girl's brother was so furious that he hunted down Ziegland and shot hiim. The brother, believing he had killed Ziegland, then turned his gun on himself and took his own life. But Ziegland had not been killed. The bullet, in fact, had only grazed his face and then lodged in a tree. Ziegland surely thought himself a luck man. Some years later, however, he decided to cut down the large tree, which still had the bullet in it. The task seemed so formidable that he decided to blow it up with a few sticks of dynamite. The explosion propelled the bullet into his head killing him. (Source: Rippley's Belive It or Not.)
SEPTEMBER 28TH
On September 28 Filipino President Diosdado Macapagal was born in Lubao, Pampanga, in 1910; On the same date President Ferdinand Marcos died in Hawaii in 1989.
COME IN AND OUT WITH A COMET
Mark Twain was born on the day of the appearance of Halley's Comet In 1835, and died on the day of its next appearance in 1910. He himself predicted this in 1909, when he said: "I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it.
THE TITANIC AND THE TITANIAN
Morgan Robertson's short fictional novel "Futility", described the maiden voyage of a transatlantic luxury liner named the Titan. Although it was touted as being unsinkable, it strikes an iceberg and sinks with much loss of life. In 1912 the Titanic, a transatlantic luxury liner widely touted as unsinkable strikes an iceberg and sinks with great loss of life on her maiden voyage. In the Book, the Month of the Wreck was April which coincidentally the same month the Titanic sank. Months after the Titanic sank, a tramp steamer was traveling through the foggy Atlantic with only a young boy on watch. It came into the boy's head that it had been thereabouts that the Titanic had sunk, and he was suddenly terrified by the thought of the name of his ship - the Titanian. Panic-stricken, he sounded the warning. The ship stopped, just in time: a huge iceberg loomed out of the fog directly in their path.
- a striking occurrence of two or more events at one time apparently by mere chance.
