- [Announcer] At some point, you've probably experienced something which made you say, "It's a small world." But there's some coincidences out there that are so impressive, they deserve a special place in history. Without further ado, here's some more "One in a Million Coincidences "You'll Have to See to Believe." Right behind you. Time can move surprisingly fast, and sometimes we don't realize
quite how long it's been since we last saw our loved ones. Over a decade had passed since
British father, Michael Dick, last saw his eldest daughter after separating from his first wife. So he set about tracking her down with a little help from
his two other daughters. Mr. Dick contacted the
local paper in 2007, and a journalist from Suffolk Free Press photographed the trio in
their hometown of Sudbury, promising it would appear
in the next edition. Sure enough, Michael's long
lost daughter Lisa, now 31, saw the photo, but on closer inspection, she realized that she
was actually in it too. Lisa, now living in Essex, was visiting her mother and had been standing in the
exact spot the photo was taken just moments earlier, and they can be seen walking
away in the background. At first, Michael thought
it was all a hoax, but after meeting with Lisa, the pair couldn't believe
their incredible luck. Meta starlings. During the fall, European starlings flock to
the skies in huge crowds, known as murmurations, and take on some weird
and wonderful shapes, as they group together to protect
themselves from predators. In 2018, amateur
photographer, Daniel Biber, spent several days photographing
these mass aerial stunts over the Costa Brava, but it wasn't until he checked
the photos on the computer that he noticed something amazing. In one of the images, thousands of birds seem
to have taken the shape of one giant starling in the sky, in a seriously meta coincidence. This incredible action shot
earned him the top prize in an international
photography competition, and he's even had offers
to display it at galleries. Nailed it. This cringe-inducing x-ray might seem like your worst nightmare, and it's certainly a pretty nasty injury, but had it not been for
a double stroke of luck, this guy could have been
in a much worse situation. The cringe-inducing image is the result of a nail gun misfiring,
not once, but twice. And, in both cases, the giant nails managed to narrowly miss his actual knee cap, or femur, which surely would have only
been 10 times more painful. Hey, no one said all coincidence are good, but this certainly could have been worse. (man hollers) James Dean's car. Hollywood actor James Dean was killed in a car accident in 1955, and word of the infamous
cursed Porsche 550 Spyder has spread ever since, thanks to a series of spooky coincidences. When Dean first showed the customized car to actor Alec Guinness, Guinness told him, "If you get in that car, "you'll be found dead in
it by this time next week." Sure enough, Dean was killed in the
car just seven days later, but the coincidences don't end there. After the car was resold to George Barris, it slipped off its trailer and crushed the legs of
the mechanic repairing it. William Eschrid and Troy McHenry
then purchased the engine and put it into race cars, but while racing against each other, McHenry lost control and hit
a tree, killing him instantly. Barris then agreed to
give the car's remnants to an exhibition, but its
first location, a garage, burned down, and at the second showing, at a local high school, the car fell off its display
and broke a student's hip. These are just a few of
the malevolent coincidences in a long history of the cursed car. And legend has it, only one piece now remains in the Historic Auto
Attractions Museum in Illinois. Almost screwed. Imagine arriving to your
destination after a long drive and finding this wedged between the rubber ridges of your tire. This incredibly lucky coincidence was just one wrong move away from bringing this driver
to a complete standstill. Not to mention the cash saved. After being so nearly screwed, this car lives to ride another day. Reincarnation. In some religions, like
Buddhism and Taoism, there's a belief that when we die our spirit is reborn as
another human or animal. You may not believe in it yourself, but there are a few
unmistakable coincidences which are hard to argue with. Ferrari founder, Enzo Ferrari, passed away on August 14th, 1988, and almost exactly two months later on October 15th, 1988, German footballer, Mesut Ozil, was born. Despite no real relation between them, anyone might think that the two
are twins or father and son. Just an eerie coincidence
or something more? Booth saves Lincoln. The assassination of
President Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth on
that fateful day in 1865 is so famous that it's become known as
the Crime of the Century. But what if I told you, Booth saved Lincoln's
life not long before? Well, that's not exactly true, as this story actually
features another Booth, his older brother, Edwin, and Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln, but it's still a historic coincidence. Sometime between 1863 and 64, fate brought the men together at a crowded train station in New Jersey when Robert Lincoln was
leaning up against a train while purchasing an overnight ticket. When the train suddenly moved off, Lincoln was rushed off his feet and started to fall into the tracks, but Edwin seized him by the
coat collar and saved him. Lincoln recognized Edwin,
a stage actor, thanked him, and recounted the incident several times, only for the cruel events of 1965 to make this one ironic
historic coincidence. Unexpected visitor. The keenest nature lovers
will go to great lengths to spot their favorite
species in the wild, but sometimes we need
a little helping hand from mother nature. This butterfly hunter definitely
got a pleasant surprise when the little fella
they were looking for landed right on top of his own picture. What are the chances, or maybe he was just looking
for a potential mate? Clean break. We've all made a fatal error
in the kitchen at some point by dropping something ceramic, which shatters all over the floor, but one Reddit user had to share this incredibly lucky coincidence, which also happened to save them a lot of tedious cleaning up,
without a single loose shard. This is one seriously
satisfying clean break, but for all the sticklers out there, just how perfect is it? Deus Ex prediction. The classic role playing PC
game, Deus Ex, released in 2000, is a staple of gaming culture, but it also has a reputation for some very eerie future predictions. The dystopian narrative
is set in New York City, the year of 2052, but some of the most eagle-eyed players noticed one glaring omission
in the iconic skyline, the missing World Trade
Center or Twin Towers. According to game makers, the reason for this was nothing more than a lack of game memory, but their absence still needed explaining, and that's where things get weird. According to the plot, the Twin Towers were destroyed
in a terrorist attack, a good year before the actual
9/11 attacks took place. Toe swap. Bodily mutations, like polydactyly, which result in extra fingers or toes, can be more common than you think. However, meeting someone with a similar physical defect as you is unlikely to be a regular occurrence, so these comfortable colleagues
were more than surprised to find that while one
of them has six toes, the other only has four. In the US, the odds of having six toes
is one in 1,339 people. While the odds of having just four are one in 30,000 to 40,000, making the chances of these
two meeting incredibly slim. If only there was some way they could perform some kind of swap. Message in a bottle. Your chances of finding
a message in a bottle are about the same as your chances of finding a golden ticket in a Wonka bar, so this Norwegian woman
was seriously intrigued when one washed up at her local beach on the Island of Ingoy. After salvaging the unusual
bottle from the rocky shoreline, Helene took the bottle home and carefully picked out
the rolled up note inside. On the piece of paper
was a child's drawing dated May 14th, 1996, accompanied
by a name and address. To her surprise, it was her childhood home address in the village of Havoysund, and the name was of her younger brother, who had unexpectedly passed
away four years earlier. Although she can't recall
her brother making the note at just five years old, she assumes an older sibling
helped him write the address, and she was delighted that the 23 year old message
made its way back to her. The right path. Sometimes things fall right
into place unexpectedly, and I don't blame this dog walker for stopping to snap a photo
of this momentous occasion. It just so happens that
these well-behaved pups are standing on the path which best matches their fur
pattern, which is a good thing, because this would have
seriously triggered my OCD, otherwise. Meteor madness. In October 2018, a family from Paris
returned home from vacation and noticed unusual damp
stains on their ceiling, so they decided to call in a roofer, suspecting a leak in the attic. Once aloft, the worker reported back that he'd found a tile so mightily smashed that only Superman could
have broken it in such a way. On closer inspection, the baffled roofer recovered
a small heat-blackened object lodged in the insulation. The family then had the
offending object inspected and were shocked to learn that it was of extra terrestrial origin. In fact, it was an 88 gram meteorite, which had been in the atmosphere for around four and a half billion years. Only around 50 meteorites have been known to land on French soil
in the past 400 years, and this was the first ever found within 80 kilometers of Paris. But that's hardly the most
amazing part of the story, it just so happens that the family surname
is actually Comette, so at least we know, if
there are aliens up there, they've got a sense of humor. Freak weather. A sudden rain shower can easily
ruin your plans for the day, so being clued up on the local forecast is always a good idea
before leaving the house. But what exactly do you call this? Literally, a 50% chance of rain? The odds of this happening
to you must be pretty slim, and I can't decide whether
starting on the already wet side or walking into the rain
would be the better option. Doomed choir practice. On the evening of
Wednesday, 1st, March, 1950, a church choir practice was scheduled at the West Side Baptist Church at the regular time of 7:20 pm, but at 7:27 pm, a devastating gas explosion completely destroyed the building. Astonishingly, none of the 15
choir members were present, so no one was injured in the disaster. Every single member, including the Choir
Director and the Reverend, were late to practice that evening for reasons varying from running
errands, posting a letter, or having car trouble. This mass lateness was
particularly unusual, because the Choir Director was notoriously strict on punctuality, and as each member arrived
to witness the devastation, they slowly realized they'd
all fortunately escaped it. To this day, all 15 survivors believe their remarkable series of coincidences to be a case of divine intervention. Clones. With around 7.7 billion
people currently in the world, it's entirely possible that you might run into
your doppelganger someday, but a photo like this truly
defies logical explanation. Whoever captured this blonde
haired dystopia on the bus, definitely revealed a
glitch in the matrix, or maybe there was just
a sale on beige coats and blonde highlights down at the salon. This isn't the first time something like this has happened either. The clones in this bus photo,
even have matching boyfriends. Fused bullets. These 1915 World War One
bullets look like something from a slow-mo scene in "The Matrix," and it's hard to believe
something like this could even happen in the first place. In reality, these two bullets didn't
exactly collide in mid air, as the more likely scenario
is that one bullet was fired and coincidentally hit a loaded round in the soldier's ammo pouch, pulling the unfired
bullet from the live round to create this immense
display of fire power. This explains why the fired
round has rifling marks, while the penetrated round doesn't. It might not be exactly
what it looks like, but at the Battle of Gettysburg, during the American Civil War in 1963, so many rounds were
fired, that a few bullets, known then as minie
balls, did hit each other. Due to the immense speed
and impact of the collision, the result is less reminiscent of the penetrated World War One bullets, as the two minie balls fused together into one unrecognizable mass, like these. Which one of these one
in a million coincidences do you think was the luckiest? Let me know in the comments below and thanks for watching. (upbeat music)
