7 Impossible Coincidences You Won’t Believe Actually Happened

Crazy facts you will doubt are real.

The world is full of surprises, but when it comes to coincidences, people think in two dimensions, whether it could be a random event or probably a turn of destiny.

Sometimes the coincidences are unusual, excitable, and even humorous.

Some common examples of coincidences would be a father-son sharing the same birthday, meeting an old friend while walking in the park, two colleagues wearing the same outfit, and so on.

Here is the list of some astonishing coincidences which are challenging to accept, but they actually occurred, and hence it will show the conspiracy of fate.

7. Enzo Ferrari and Mesut Ozil — Two sportsmen having identical faces

We might have seen that a father and a child often share the same looks, but two strangers can look alike.

Yes, that’s a coincidence; we have a real example of this miracle. Let’s meet the two individual celebrities. Enzo Ferrari was a car racer and entrepreneur.

He was born in 1898 in Italy. He died on 14th August 1988, and guess what? In the same year, his look-alike was born; wow, what a coincidence!

Mesut Ozil is a great German footballer and famous for his skills. Hence one celebrity died, but another was born with almost the same looks.

6. WWI — The first and last soldiers killed during the first world war are buried opposite each other.

John Par was the first soldier killed in the war after 17 days of war declaration on 21st August 1914.

Par was 14 years old when he joined the army, even though he was five younger than the eligible age to join the war.

He was so keen to join the fight that he did not show his age. Par was 17 when he died.

On another side, the last soldier who just passed 90 minutes before the official cease of war was George Ellison.

Ellison was a part of the army from a younger age, and he was 40 years old when he died on 11th November 1918.

Ellison joined the army in 1902 but left the army in 1912 and became a coal miner, but when the war began, he was recalled to support the army.

Astonishingly, both soldiers who died during the first world war are buried in opposite directions in the same place at the graveyard of the Belgian cemetery.

However, in four years, around 750,000 other soldiers were killed.

It is nothing less than a coincidence that somehow the first and last soldiers are buried near each other.

5. Maarten de Jonge — Ditched two Malaysian Air flights, which ended up in a tragedy

Sometimes serendipity follows in a way that makes you wonder how destiny plays an essential part in life.

The twenty-nine-year-old Maarten de Jonge was about to board Malaysia airline flight# 17 to Ukraine; however, at the last minute, he changed his plan to switch to another flight as it was cheaper comparatively.

His luck saved him from the plane crash, but he held on for a moment. Fate saved him again from another plane accident.

This time he escaped from Malaysia Airlines flight # 370, which had been missing since 8th March 2014.

He changed flight #370 because he wanted to avoid staying in Beijing. Hence it is a coincidence that he escaped two mishaps of the plane in one year.

4. Tsutomo Yamaguchi — A man who survived Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear attacks

Though around seventy people survived both bombings, Tsutomo Yamaguchi is the only one who came through alive in both bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

On 6th August 1945, he was going to work when suddenly there was a substantial nuclear attack, and he was only two miles away.

Yamaguchi suffered many injuries in this attack and went through trauma, but somehow he returned home safely to Nagasaki.

Here comes another coincidence, on 9th August, when he was going to resume work second nuclear attack happened in Nagasaki.

Fortunately, he was able to survive this one also.

3. Morgan Robertson — Author who predicted the Titanic’s tragic end fourteen years before

Morgan Robertson, an American writer wrote the novel in which he predicted the conclusion of Titanic fourteen years before the tragedy.

In his book, the prediction about the death rate and the statement about the ship’s size and speed were so accurate.

Therefore this was an unbelievable coincidence.

2. The Simpsons — Show that predicted Donald Trump’s presidency in a humorous manner

Well, who knew that Donald Trump would become president in 2016? The world-famous American Cartoon series predicted Trump’s win sixteen years before.

In 2000 the Bart to the Future, the 11th episode of the season, the presidency of Trump was indicated.

In one of the scenes, they imitated Trump and called him president Trump.

After this episode, many declared this alarming. And thus, their prediction proved true in 2016 when Trump became the 45th US president.

So, either the Simpsons are brilliant enough, or perhaps it was damn true a coincidence.

1. Lincoln and Kennedy — Presidents who had too much in common

There are some incredible coincidences between the former presidents, Abraham Lincoln, and John F. Kennedy.

They both were elected to congress in the 46th year, that is, Lincoln in 1846 and Kennedy in 1946.

They both were appointed to the presidency in the 60th year, that is, Lincoln in 1860 and Kennedy in 1960.

Also, their agenda for civilian rights was the same. Furthermore, they both lost their son during the presidency.

Lincoln and Kennedy’s doctors had the same names, Charles Taft. Their assassination day was the same, Friday, and they were shot directly in the head.

Both were assassinated in the proximity of their wives.

Thus, these coincidence facts are incredible, and it is hard to judge the link between Lincoln and Kennedy, which brought them together in the same situations.

Final words:

Perhaps, it isn’t easy to understand the exact reason for coincidences.

Still, everything happens for a reason in this universe, and it is all about destiny revolving around awe-inspiring situations.
