Top 5 Biggest Coincidences In History by wintersnow(op):
This world is indeed a strange place...


1)CONNECTED STRANGERS
in 1920, there happened to be only 3 passengers on a certain train ride. Introducing themselves, they found that one of the rider’s last names was Bingham, one was Powell and the last rider’s name was Bingham-Powell.

2) TWIN LIVES
Twin boys were separated at birth. Their adopting families named them both James, they both both grew up with enforcement training and then married a woman named Linda. They both had boys, one of whom was named James Alan and one who was named James Allan.
They divorced their wives Linda and remarried women named Betty. They both had a dog named Troy. The men reunited after 40 years in 1979 and were able to share their amazing coincidentally identical life stories.

3) CARS
there were only two cars in the state of Ohio in 1895. They ran into each other. Then there were no cars

4 TITANIC PREDICTION
Morgan Robertson published his novella Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan in 1898. In it, a massive commercial cruise liner named Titan collides with an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean, causing the ship to sink. 14 years later, nearly the exact same thing happened in real life with the Titanic disaster. Not only were the ships' names similar, Robertson's boat was nearly identical to the the Titanic

5)BRUCE LEE PREDICTS SON'S DEATH
Never mind the coincidence that both Bruce Lee and his son, Brandon, died while filming movies, there's an even freakier coincidence surrounding the deaths of father and son. Bruce's last film, which was incomplete at the time of his passing, is called Game of Death. In it, Bruce plays a character who, while filming a movie, is shot by a prop gun loaded with real bullets.

In 1993, while filming The Crow, Brandon was killed in a manner almost exactly mirroring the scene in Game of Death - a gun was accidentally loaded with a dummy cartridge still equipped with a projectile and a primer, and thus the round behaved like a regular bullet, killing Brandon, who was struck in the abdomen.
