10.Dorothy Fletcher
Of all the places to have a heart attack, flying over the Atlantic ocean isn't one of them.
Unless, of course, your name is Dorothy fletcher and you happen to be on a flight with 15 cardiologists, flying from Manchester England to Florida, to go to her daughter's wedding.
Dorothy started to experience troubles breathing and chest pains.
The flight attendant used the intercom to ask if there were any doctors on board and luckily 15 doctors were on their way to a conference.
The plane landed in North Carolina and thanks to her dumb luck, Dorothy was still able to make her daughter's wedding.
9.Days x20 hours
In the year 2000, video game developer ion storm released the acclaimed first-person shooter Deus ex.
During production, artists left out one of the most important landmarks for the New York City, skyline the Twin Towers.
Due to texture memory limitations to cover this up and give a reason for the notable absence, ion storm introduced an in-game reason that the towers have been levelled in a terrorist attack.
A year later on September 11th the real Twin Towers coincidentally came under attack by terrorist forces removing them from the New York skyline forever!!
8.Kamikaze Typhoon
Twice in history, Mongol fleets had come to attack Japan.
The first attack was in 1274, the second following seven years later in 1281, both attacks were ultimately unsuccessful due to powerful typhoons wiping out the Mongol fleets.
During the first attack, the Mongol fleets gained ground against the Japanese until they were pushed back from Hakata Bay.
During the withdrawal the first typhoon devastated the fleet, the second attack was even less successful with the typhoon striking before the Mongols could attack Dubbing the typhoons kamikaze or Divine Wind popular Japanese myth claimed that, the god 4i Jean was the God who sent the storms after the Mongols to save them.
7.Hoover dam victims
The US National Historic Landmark called "Hoover Dam", is located on the border of Nevada and Arizona in the United States where 112 people have lost their lives during the construction.
The first person out of the 112 to die was a surveyor named JG Tierney, who drowned on December 20th 1922, while searching for a location for the dams.
His son was Patrick W Tierney, who happened to have died exactly thirteen years later as the last individual to die during construction of the massive structure.
One could say that the father-son dual was dammed from the beginning but was that too far?
6.Mark Twain comet
Every 75 to 76 years Halley's Comet is at its closest with the earth.
It's not very likely that someone would live to see it twice.
But American author Samuel Langhorne Clemens or as we know him Mark Twain happened to be born during a Halley's Comet passing on November 30th 1835.
The author lived until 1910 passing away on April 21st which happened to be the day after the Comets next passing.
As if the coincidence wasn't crazy enough, Mark Twain had publicly predicted in 1910 that he expected to die when Halley's Comet passed.
5.Barbara Forrest and Mary Ashford
On May 27th 1817 the body of Mary Ashford was found in earnings.
In England 157 years later the body of Barbara Forrest was found within 300 yards of Mary, what may sound like an unfortunate duo of a gets mighty odd when you look at the circumstances behind their deaths.
Both women were on their way to a local dance after putting on a new dress and have been raped and murdered before their bodies have dumped.
The coincidences don't stop there though the two victims had the same birth date and in both cases, the murder suspect that was arrested and later acquitted was named Thornton.
Perhaps reincarnation or fate is that as bizarre some may think or perhaps it's just a pure coincidence.
4.Baby catcher
How often do you find yourself walking down the street when a baby randomly falls on to you.
During the 1930s in Detroit, a man named Joseph fig LOC was shocked when a baby landed on his shoulders.
From a four-story fall, both baby and Joseph sustained minor injuries and Joseph returned to his job as a street sweeper.
However, exactly a year later Joseph found himself playing toddler catcher once again when two-year-old David Thomas fell from his window.
Just as in the event, a year before Joseph and the child was injured but the fall wasn't fatal for either.
3.Tecumseh's prophesy
The [ __ ] saw was a Native American leader during the Revolutionary war.
That was considered a prophet by his people. In 1811 the US had attempted to discredit to come to Sabai, requesting proof of him being who he claimed to be- comes ahead called for a sunless sky which arrived shortly after in the form of a total eclipse.
Yeah, we know anyone with general knowledge of when an eclipse would occur would know that.
However, when one of the tribes refused to join him he threatened that they would feel their houses shakedown through Mississippi.
Which led to an earthquake, that was ten times stronger than the one that destroyed San Francisco in the late 1800s.
We'll mark this one off as a coincidence not to mention the story itself is thought to be a legend.
2.Lincoln and JFK
Abraham Lincoln and John F Kennedy - past presidents in the United States history, have more in common than the fact that they were both against slavery and they were both presidents who were assassinated.
Additionally to their civil rights movements, both presidents were murdered next to their wives while accompanied by another couple.
The list of connections gets weirder as Lincoln was assassinated at Ford's Theater while Kennedy he was killed in a Lincoln made by Ford, both of which occurred on a Friday.
If that isn't enough for you, John booth killed Lincoln in a theatre and escaped to a warehouse while Kennedy's alleged killer Lee Harvey Oswald killed Kennedy from a warehouse and ran to a theatre.
1.Edgar Allan Poe predicts the future
One of Edgar Allen Poe's great works includes the narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym which tells the story of four crewmen who are lost at sea and turned to cannibalize the cabin boy.
46 years later in 1884 an English yacht the mignonette became famous not only because it sank and left four crewmen adrift on a 13-foot lifeboat but because the four that escaped ended up eating the cabin boy.
After he fell ill not that much of a coincidence you may think until you take into consideration that both the cabin the boy that Edgar Allen Poe wrote about and the boy from the mignonette was named Richard Parker.
