Subject: Coincidences




1. In the 1930s in New York, a commuter train dove off an open drawbridge
into Newark Bay killing 30 passengers. The newspaper published photographs
of the incident and the number 932 could be seen clearly on the side of one
of the
coaches. A large number of people selected that number for the Manhattan
numbers game and the number came up! Thousands of people won.

2. On the 26th November, 1911, three men were hanged at Greenberry Hill in
London after being convicted of the murder of Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey. The
killers names were Robert Green, Henry Berry and Lawrence Hill.

They were hanged on the 5th February, 1679. I don't know where 1911 came
from!

3. In 1899 a man was killed by a bolt of lightning as he stood in his
backyard in Taranto, Italy. Thirty years later, his son was killed in the
very same spot by another bolt of lightning. On October 8, 1949, Rolla
Primarda, the second victim's son (and grandson of the first victim) was
also killed in the same spot by yet another bolt of lightning.

4. In 1979, Das Besteran, a German Magazine, held a writing competition.
Readers had to send in unusual stories based on real life occurrences.
Walter Kellner from Munich won with his story about flying a Cessna 41
between Sardinia and
Sicily. In his story he had engine trouble, landed in the water, and was
later rescued. An Austrian man, also named
Waltner Kellner, wrote to the paper and told them that the winner of the
prize had plagiarized the story because virtually the same thing had
happened to him. The magazine checked out both stories and found that they
were both true, despite being nearly identical.
