[Music] facts verse presents 15 coincidences you won't believe happened number one man saves falling babies twice in 1937 a mother was standing in the window of a fourth storey building in Detroit when she accidentally dropped her baby luckily there was a man below named Joseph fig lock working below he was a local street sweeper he was working beneath the window when the infant fell from the sky and hit him in the head in the shoulders the baby lived and fig locks sustained minor injuries a year later another mother was in a high-rise building when she allowed her two-year-old son David Thomas to fall from the window ironically fig lock was working on the ground beneath the window sweeping an alley when the child fell big lock was struck in the head both he and the child survived what are the odds of a man being in the right place at the right time two years in a row also what are the odds of two mothers being so irresponsible with their children that they allow them to fall out of a window two years in a row number two left-handed president coincidence only ten percent of Americans are left-handed when you look at the number of US presidents that were left-handed you would expect to see approximately the same but of the last 14 US presidents more than half of them were left-handed this includes five out of the last seven over the past 20 years almost every presidential candidate has been left-handed in 2008 John McCain and Barack Obama were left-handed in 1992 all three of the candidates who were running were left-handed this phenomenon is strange because in the 18th and 19th centuries left handedness was considered a punishable disability kids who were left handed back then were forced to be right-handed this all changed in the 1970s and children were allowed to be left-handed number three Hugh Williams perpetual shipwreck survivor there have been millions of shipwreck casualties throughout history if you're planning an ocean voyage

added they decided to say that a terrorist attack was responsible when they created this explanation there is no way that they knew that a year later that a real terrorist attack would take down the towers it is a spooky coincidence number five two brothers killed on a moped in 1975 a man was riding a moped in Bermuda when he was struck by a taxi and then killed this showed the world how dangerous riding a moped could be however people kept writing them a year later the man's brother had paid to have the moped that his brother was killed on repaired the day he finished repaying the
