10 COINCIDENCES THAT REALLY HAPPENED | TOP10slive
- 6 years ago
The 10 most jinxed, accident-prone and plain unlucky people ever to walk the planet.
10. 00:11 Tsutomu Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima, on business, the day the atomic bomb exploded in the city. Surviving the blast, Yamaguchi recuperated for a day before returning home – to Nagasaki – just in time for the second atomic impact. He thus had the dubious honor of living through two separate nuclear blasts.
9.00:30 In 1975, while riding a moped in Bermuda, a man was accidentally struck and killed by a taxi. One year later, this man’s bother was killed in the very same way. In fact, he was riding the very same moped. And to stretch the odds even further, he was struck by the very same taxi driven by the same driver - and even carrying the very same passenger!
8.00:45 An article in the January, 1980 edition of Reader's Digest reported the strange lives of identical twin boys, separated at birth in Ohio, and adopted by different families. Forty years later the boys were reunited and discovered that their lives had been amazingly parallel. Both boys were named James. Both trained in law enforcement. Both had abilities in mechanical drawing and carpentry. They both married women named Linda, had sons named James Alan and James Allan, respectively. Both brothers later divorced and both remarried women named Betty. They both owned dogs named Toy.
7.01:07 Only one person in the world has ever been hit by a meteorite, and that person was Ann Hodges. To make matters worse, the Alabama woman was in the comfort of her own living room when it struck, crashing through her roof and thudding off her arm. The Sylacauga meteorite is the first documented extraterrestrial object to have injured a human being in the USA.
6.01:27 Roy Sullivan is in the Guinness Book of Records as the only man ever to have been hit by lightning on seven separate occasions, bagging himself a nickname, ‘the human lightning rod’, to boot. The odds of suffering seven strikes are an eye-popping 22 septillion to one!
5.01:43 On the 26th November, 1911, three men were hanged at Greenberry Hill in London after being convicted of the murder of Sir Edmund Berry. Their names were Green, Berry and Hill.
4.01:56 In 1899 a bolt of lightning killed a man as he stood in his backyard in Taranto, Italy. Thirty years later his son was killed in the same way and in the same place. On October 8, 1949, Rolla Primarda, the grandson of the first victim and the son of the second, became the third.
3.02:18 While American novelist Anne Parrish was browsing bookstores in Paris in the 1920s, she came upon a book that was one of her childhood favorites entitled "Jack Frost and Other Stories." She immediately showed it to her husband, remarking that the story had been one of her favorites as a little girl. Her husband opened the book and was stunned to read the inscription inside: "Anne Parrish, 209 N. Weber Street, Colorado Springs, Colorado." As it turns out, the book was the one she had as a child.
2.02:41 Jason and Jenny Cairns-Lawrence hold the rare distinction of having been at the scene of three of the world’s most high-profile terrorist attacks. In New York during 9/11, the pair were then in London during 7/7, and later holidaying in Mumbai during the terrorist shootings in 2008. Fortunately they weren’t harmed in the attacks, but may have decided against travelling anymore.
1.03:04 Mark Twain was a popular American author who wrote such books as the Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. 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.”
