At number 10, we have the story of the twin brothers separated at birth. In 1979, two baby boys were separated at birth and adopted by different families. They were both named James, and they both grew up to be police officers. In 1985, they both joined the same police force in the same city, and they became partners. It wasn't until they were both 35 years old that they found out they were twins. Number 9. The man who survived two plane crashes. At number 9, we have the story of the man who survived two plane crashes. In 1963, a man named George Lamson Jr. was involved in a small plane crash in California. He survived the crash, but his brother and sister-in-law were killed. In 1972, Lamson was involved in another plane crash, this time in Peru. Once again, he survived, but all of the other passengers on the plane were killed. Number 8. The couple who won the lottery twice. At number 8, we have the story of the couple who won the lottery twice. In 1992, a couple in the UK won the lottery with a ticket they had bought on a whim. They won £1.8 million, and they used the money to retire and travel the world. In 2007, they decided to buy another lottery ticket, and they won again, this time with a prize of £2.4 million. Number 7. The man who discovered his own double. At number 7, we have the story of the man who discovered his own double. In the 1960s, a man named Robert Shafran arrived at college and was greeted by a group of people who thought he was someone named Eddie Galland. It turned out that Shafran and Galland were identical twins who had been separated at birth and adopted by different families. The story of the twin brothers made headlines around the world, and they appeared on talk shows and news programs. Number 6. The coincidence that saved Abraham Lincoln's life. At number 6, we have the coincidence that saved Abraham Lincoln's life. In 1865, President Lincoln received an invitation to attend a play at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. He decided not to go, and he instead went to the White House to work. Later that evening, he was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth while he was watching a play at Ford's Theatre. If Lincoln had attended the play as originally planned, he would have been sitting in the same box where he was assassinated. Number 5. The coincidence of the sinking ships. At number 5, we have the coincidence of the sinking ships. In 1911, the RMS Titanic set sail on its fateful voyage from Southampton to New York. On the same day, another ship called the RMS Olympic set sail from Southampton to New York. The Titanic and the Olympic were sister ships, and they were almost identical. In 1912, the Titanic hit an iceberg and sunk, killing over 1,500 people. In 1935, the Olympic was involved in a collision and sank, killing 137 people. Number 4. The man who met his doppelganger in a pub. At number 4, we have the story of the man who met his doppelganger in a pub. In 1975, a man named Brian McFadden was having a drink at a pub in Ireland when he saw a man who looked exactly like him. They both had the same haircut, the same clothes, and the same mannerisms. They even had the same name. It turned out that McFadden had a twin brother who had been separated at birth and adopted by a different family. They had both grown up just a few miles apart, but they had never met until that chance encounter in the pub. Number 3. The coincidence of the unclaimed luggage. At number 3, we have the coincidence of the unclaimed luggage. In the 1930s, a man named Charles Osborne was on a train in England when he saw a suitcase that had been left behind by a passenger. He took the suitcase home, and when he opened it, he found a stash of money and a letter addressed to him. It turned out that the suitcase belonged to his long-lost uncle, who had died and left him a fortune. Number 2. The coincidence of the lost wallet. At number 2, we have the coincidence of the lost wallet. In the 1990s, a man named John D. Thompson lost his wallet on a trip to New York. He didn't think he would ever see it again, but a few months later, he received a package in the mail. Inside the package was his wallet, with all of his cards and cash still inside. The wallet had been found by a tourist in Paris, who had seen Thompson's name on his driver's license and decided to return it. The tourist just happened to be staying at the same hotel that Thompson had stayed at, and she saw his name on the register. She decided to mail the wallet back to him, and it arrived safely back in Thompson's hands. Number 1. The coincidence of the identical strangers. At the top of our list, we have the coincidence of the identical strangers. In the 1980s, two women named Karen Talbot and Annette Blitz met by chance at a shopping mall in Milwaukee. They were both wearing the same outfit, and they even had the same hairstyle. They quickly realized that they had been born on the same day and in the same hospital, and they had both been adopted. Further investigation revealed that they were actually twins who had been separated at birth. They reconnected with their birth parents and discovered that they had a number of other siblings. The story of the identical strangers made headlines around the world, and it's one of the most amazing coincidences in history.
