Coincidences happen all the time. Sometimes, however, they're more than just curiosities and become completely freaky.
1. Mongol fleets almost conquered Japan twice in 7 years. They were stopped both times by a typhoon.
These events were described as Kamikaze or Divine Wind.
2. Mark Twain was born as Halley's Comet was passing by Earth. He died as it came by again.
ith Halley’s Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don’t go out with Halley’s Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: ‘Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together."
3. Lewis and Clark were trying to get 40 horses from an Indian Tribe to cross the Rockies safely. The negotiations were getting nowhere until their interpreter found out she was the Chief's long lost sister.
The girl, Sacagawea, had been taken as a slave as a child. This changed the direction of the talk and Lewis and Clark's party got their horses.
4. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on July 4th on the 50th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
5. A Nebraska church exploded in 1950. The 15 people who were supposed to be there for choir practice were ALL late and were miraculously saved.

6. The book "Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan" was about an 'unsinkable' ocean liner that sinks in the Atlantic... 14 years before the Titanic sank!
The coincidences don't end there: both sank '400 miles from Newfoundland', both had too few lifeboats, both were around 800 feet long and both sank in an April night around midnight.
7. J.J. Thomson won the Nobel in Physics (1906) when he showed electrons were particles. His son won it in 1937 for showing that electrons are waves.
