Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1988. A poodle dog fell from a 13th floor. Of course, the dog died; but besides, it crushed and killed a woman who was passing by the sidewalk. Then a lady who attempted to cross the street to assist the just-deceased woman was run over by a bus. And a man who witnessed the scene died from a heart attack. The balance thus was 3 humans and 1 dog deceased within a very short lapse of time, in a reduced space, with no acts of violence, no explosions, no toxic spreads. Nothing. But destiny.

This unbelievable story, as sad as unusual, went “viral” in the local and international press of the time:
