7. The explosion of the Nebraska Church
The choir practice in the West Side Baptist Church would start on Wednesday, March 1, 1950 at 7.20 pm. It always started at the time, so this was by no means an unusual event. What was unusual was that, at 7:25 am, the Church exploded. It was suggested that, after the oven was lit in preparation for the arrival of the choir, a gas leak may have caused the explosion. It was powerful enough to blow the windows from nearby buildings and even to beat the local radio station. And no person was injured because there was no one.
Every member of the choir was let that night. Everyone was too late for another reason. Pastor Klempel, who put the oven, went home after dinner, but ran late when his daughter’s dress got dirty and his wife stroked a beautiful one.

Two other members could not start their cars. One man was stuck by writing a letter and the other helped her mother.

As most of us know, Brandon Lee also died tragically on the set of his film Crow 20 years later in 1993.
Crow Was Brandon’s fifth film. His death was caused by a plug gun that was incorrectly prepared for use. The dummy rounds were made of changed living rounds and one of the dummy bullets was still in the room when the blank was fired, so the heated as a normal gun.
In what turned out to be a bizarre coincidence, a scenario happens that almost exactly reflected this course of events on the screen in the screen Play. Bruce Lee plays an actor in the film. On the set of the film in which he plays the leading role, the Prop Guy de Cast and the crew explain how he can firmly fire the Prop gun. He explains that the gun is full of spaces, but that they should only focus up because there is a plug of paper that could come out and injure someone. As the actor on the set of Crow Had followed those instructions, Lee would have survived.

5. The death of Stephen Hawking
Ask the average person to name the greatest physicists of all time and they will probably only come up with a handful of names. Let’s face it, science is not super glamorous and fame is usually not one of the benefits. But that does not mean that some of them do not achieve it. People like Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking are at the top of the list. And although their scientific spirit would probably not give much faith to weird coincidences, the rest of us can still do it.
Hawking was born on January 8, 1942 and died on March 14, 2018. He was born on the 300th anniversary of the famous astronomer Galileo Galilei’s death. He died on the 139th birthday of the birth of Albert Einstein. And it was also Pi Day, the day to commemorate Pi’s mathematical constant, which is often abbreviated to 3.14 or 14 March.
As you can imagine, social media did not end smart quips about the Timing the death of HawkingBut even if it had no greater meaning that was related to theory of relativity and time, it was still a hell of coincidence.
4 The Tierney Men
Many sons follow in the footsteps of their fathers. That is usually a good thing. But not so for the Tierney family, who has endured generation radie at De Hoover Dam.

3. My way of murders
Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” spent 75 weeks As a Top 40 -hit and another 49 weeks in the Top 75. The song was perhaps the largest and most memorable hit by Sinatra ever and is still popular to this day. Maybe even too popular, at least in the Philippines. Bad things happen to people who sing it there.
Between the years 2002 and 2012, more than a dozen people were killed in connection with ‘my way’. In the Philippines, Karaoke is both very popular and very serious. Seriously enough that at least one of those 12 people was killed for singing the song outside the melody. At that time it was reported that the song had already been taken from countless playing lists because violence continued to break when people sang badly.
Another victim was stabbed in 2018 when a fight broke out Before the number even started. In another incident, a four -year -old sang the song, adults began to argue and a man attacked with a Meat Cleaver. The only common theme is the choice of the song, it seems, making it a pretty deadly coincidence for little reason for the deadly deeds outside the arrogant texts, making people angry.
2. The taxi brothers
Many stories about amazing coincidences are too good to be true. Do some digging and they fall apart. But a popular story of two brothers killed a year apart by the same taxi driver who carries the same passenger, can actually be the real deal.
The incident supposedly took place in Bermuda in 1975, so records are a bit hard to find. But Internet Sleuths If you want to sort out the story, you have dug around to find the instructions. A story from De Telegraaf in 1975 presents the incident as a fact. Both brothers were 17 at the time of their death, both were on the same scooter on the same road, a year apart. Other reports state the name of the taxi driver and even the parts of the road on which the boys were hit.
Although verifiable details are hard to find, a newsletter from 1974 of a Bermuda employee offers a small one Message of sympathy After the death of a 17-year-old with the same name from the original story, which gives the whole thing a lot of credibility.
1. Umberto and Umberto
In The prince and the pauperMark Twain created a story of two identical men who exchange place. One royalty, the other a bad ordinary. Sounds fantastic and unbelievable, which makes the story of King Umberto of Italy and Umberto the restaurant owner so incredible.
According to the story, the king went to a restaurant to hold a meal. The owner wanted to meet the king and the men were stunned to notice looked exactly the same. They shared the same name and the same birthday. Both married women named Margherita on the same day.
King Umberto was murdered the day after their meeting. He was shot four times. The two men were planned to meet again that day, but it never happened. Umberto, the restaurant owner, died that morning after he was shot.
If the story is true, it is indeed quite a coincidence. The two men could very well have been twin brothers without knowing it. But the death of a random restaurant owner in 1900 did not cause many waves, especially on the same day that the king was murdered, so his details of his life, if he even existed, was lost.
