We have a local legend in San Diego named Jack Ridout. He was one of the survivors of the Tenerife air disaster. A year and a half later, he had a ticket for PSA 182. But because the AC was broken in the house where he was staying, he changed his ticket to the night before. The flight he missed crashed into a San Diego neighborhood, killing everyone on board and 7 people in their homes. We still call that day “The worst day in San Diego.” But Ridout wasn’t on it. If that’s not enough, he was drafted into Vietnam, but was let off after he was hit by a drunk driver on the way to recruitment.

One of my Japanese language professors in university was a Japanese American born in Hawaii, living there during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Her parents sent her to live with her grandparents in Japan for high school afterward (though she was treated as an outsider because she was an American citizen). She and her grandparents lived in Hiroshima, though she was lucky enough to be on errand just outside the city center when the bomb was dropped. She unluckily experienced both of those events, which is so crazy to think of. One of the kindest and most humble ladies I've ever met.

I remember a creepy coincidence that occurred 32 years ago. In 10th grade English I sat next to a girl, and had a crush on her if I’m honest, whose biological father had known Charles Manson. When Geraldo Rivera interviewed Manson that year, she told everyone about her father’s take on it. Well, two years later, she and her mother were the last two victims of serial killer Cleophus Prince, the Clairemont Killer.

One of the saddest cases of people dying who deserved a better fate involved an American riverboat called Sultana. Right after the Civil War ended, it was assigned to carry a group of Union soldiers who had survived the Confederate prison camps in Cahaba, Alabama and the infamous Andersonville, Georgia. The ship had three of its four boilers explode which led to it sinking near Memphis, Tennessee. Casualty counts vary, but at least 1100 of the Sultana's 2100+ passengers died.

May 31 is the day with the worst history of bad weather in Pennsylvania. In 1985 the worst tornado outbreak of the decade killed 90 people and injured over 1000, as 44 tornadoes touched down, including the only F5 tornado ever to hit Pennsylvania, and seven F4 tornadoes. One F4 was two and a half miles wide and was on the ground for 69 miles. In 1889 the South Fork Dam failed at Johnstown after heavy rains, releasing almost 4 billion gallons of water, killing 2208 people and doing over half a billion dollars in damage, in current dollars.

One of the most interesting coincidences for me as a Jew has always been the frequent appearance of the Tisha B’Av, or the ninth day of the Hebrew month Av, in our tragedies. Both the first and second Temple were destroyed in this date, the Bar Kokhba Revolt was crushed on this date, the Jews were expelled from England in this date (and from France the day after and from Spain two days before), and the so-called “Final Solution” was received formal approval on this date.

@Jesse-cw5pv Жыл бұрын

@@Between_Scylla_and_Kharybdis Bro I'm talking about 1 in a billion experience in general, if you have 1 billion people, on average one person will have a 1 in a billion experience every day. That's just common sense. Im not talking about a specific experience like eaten by a shark, because not everyone goes swimming in the ocean so clearly not everyone has a chance to be eaten by one. I'm talking about general coincidences. And you're actually trying to say the law averages are wrong because a coin a slightly higher chance of landing on the side it started facing up? Like okay let's say it is 49/51, then the law of averages says it will even out to 49/51. The law of averages also say if something has a 1 in a billion chance, on average it will happen once a day if you have a billion people. Might not happen every day, might happen a couple times a day, but average, that is EXACTLY how it works. I think it's funny your argument is 'a coin is actually 51/49' like that has anything to do with people having coincidental experiences.

@Jesse-cw5pv Жыл бұрын

@@Between_Scylla_and_Kharybdis since you're really struggling to comprehend this concept that most middle school students would instantly understand, let's use a different analogy that even some of my slower students would understand..... Let's say we give everyone a 1 billion-sided dice and had them roll it every day. On average 8 people would roll a 1 every day. Some days you might have no one roll a 1, some days you might have 20 people roll a 1. But on average, over enough time, there would be 8 people rolling a 1 every day. That is the law of averages. And every day every person rolls many, many, metaphorical dice with their unique experiences. People having different experience does not change anything, a fisherman in china can have a 1 in a billion experience, so can 9 year old in Canada, and an old man in Africa. It just means different coincidences can happen. If you cant understand that then you would fail a middle school math class

In the SF Bay area we have the great coincidence of a major earthquake striking the region just as its two baseball teams were about to play each other in the 1989 World Series. Seeing both the Oakland A's and the San Francisco Giant get to the series in the same year was a big coincidence. Having a strong earthquake right in the middle of it was truly uncanny. The ironic thing is that the freeways and bridges that collapsed had much lighter traffic than usual because people went home early to watch the game on TV. So thearthquake happening right at the start of the game made for fewer casualties. The timing spared lives. 👍🏻🙂✌🏻

The Titanic was over 800 feet, hit an iceburg in the same way, and sank with too few life boats.

Not historical but odd. My parents moved into a new home when I was a young boy. Three house down was a house whose first 4 owners had some misfortune befall them. Owners in order: 1) first owner of the home had just passed his test to become a doctor when he and his young son were killed in a small plane crash; 2) one of owners children got cancer and had a leg amputated; 3) owner was on vacation in Idaho, hit a patch of black ice. His vehicle slid sideways into another vehicle killing his son, 4) Owners were going to their children's school open house and were hit by a car (both survived). All of this happened in the course of about 15-20 years. Dont know if anything bad happened to later owners as it has now been 50 years and the house appears dilapidated in a neighborhood of nice homes. Not superstitious but I'm not sure I'd buy that home.
