A famous TV character once said, "No such thing as coincidence", but you might be surprised how much they happen. Let's discover 15 of the most unbelievable coincidences ever on Earth.
14. Twin Lives
Here's a coincidence about two twins that might just creep you out. As sad as it may sound, it's not uncommon for twins to be separated at birth for various reasons. This is what happened to two brothers in Ohio upon birth. But when they were reunited, they found out they had lived very similar lives unintentionally.
13. Birds In the Hand
Picture a scenario for me. You're in the woods, and you're doing a project on birds, and you bring a book with you to start identifying the birds themselves. Then, as you turn the page to a specific bird, you hear a bird flying down and land on your book.
12. Inspiration
This is a full-circle coincidence that is hard to deny as something weird. A kid decided become a soldier when he went to an air show and saw a OH58 Kiowa and got to sit in it. And his Grandfather and Uncle took a picture of him in the pilot seat. Very basic stuff, right?
11. Spot The Dog ( unexplained and funny)
It's also an interesting experience to see the birth of life, especially for pets.
10. Predicting A Tragedy, crazy and strange
There have been many times in history that tragic events have unintentionally been predicted. But one of the most insane coincidences might be the predicting of the Titanic. This happened in 1898, an author named Morgan Robertson wrote a book called "The Wreck Of A Titan".
9. The Disappearance of Two Founding Fathers
One of the things that makes the United States of America so great to some is its history. To the extent that its independence came via a group of men who felt that the time had come to stop taking orders from a king. Two of these men were John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
8. Bite The Bullet
Can coincidence be described as irony at times? Sure, and this story will prove it to you.
For this is the tale of a man named Henry Ziegland. Who was a regular man doing very regular things. He had a girlfriend, but then broke up with her. Which happens as you all know.
7. Miss Unsinkable
How unlucky are you when you have the unfortunate "honor" of being on three ships that sink into the ocean...and yet you survive all three times? That was the question many asked one Violet Jessop, who was given the nickname of "Miss Unsinkable" because of her experiences.
But not just regular experiences on boats. She was on the HMS Olympic when it collided with the HMS Hawke; she was on the HMHS Britannic when it struck a mine at sea, and she was aboard the RMS Titanic when it hit the infamous iceberg that sank it
6. You! Save My Baby! Twice!
For a parent, the thought of your child getting hurt on your watch is a sobering reminder to be mindful of where they are. Whether it be in a stroller, in a vehicle, or near an apartment window. In 1930, a man named Joseph Figlock was minding his own business and going down the street when a baby apparently fell out of an apartment and landed right on top of him.
5. The Beginning And The End
World War I was a war that no one had ever seen before as multiple continents got involved in the conflict. But, the event that started it all was the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria. 4. Hoover Over Your Family
The Hoover Dam was one of the largest construction projects in the world at the time, and not surprisingly, people died while it was being built. Which isn't surprising give the massive size of the project and the territory that it was being built into.
3. A Perfect Bookend
Have you ever lost something, or gave something away and wished that you could get it back? Well, legendary children's book author Anne Parrish had that feeling one day, albeit in a roundabout way. In the 1920's, she went to a bookshop in Paris, France, and when she did, she saw a book called, "Jack Frost And Other Stories".
2. To Take A Life, To Save A Life
One of the most infamous assassinations in United States history was that of John Wilkes Booth taking the life of US President Abraham Lincoln during a play. He shouted "sic semper tyrannis" as he escaped and felt that he had done a great justice to the South. Who had just lost the Civil War in part due to Lincoln's leadership.
So what's the coincidence? Well, a mere year before the events of that day, John's brother, Edwin, saw a person about to fall onto some train tracks in Washington D.C., and he rushed to go save him. He did so. That person he saved? Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln.
1. James Dean's Porsche 550 Spyder
There are coincidences in this world no doubt, and then, there are coincidences that may truly be curses. Full stop. Such as with James Dean's infamous car.
James Dean is arguably one of the most famous people to ever live, especially given the time period he was in, and his sudden disappearance left many stunned. But his car left many people much more than stunned.
