14.James Dean’s car curse
In September 1955, James Dean was killed in a horrific car accident whilst he was driving his Porsche sports car. After the crash the car was seen as very unlucky. Here’s some reasons:

#When the car was towed away from accident scene and taken to a garage, the engine slipped out and fell onto a mechanic, shattering both of his legs.

#Eventually the engine was bought by a doctor, who put it into his racing car and was killed shortly afterwards, during a race. Another racing driver, in the same race, was killed in his car, which had James Dean’s drive shaft fitted to it.

#When James Dean’s Porsche was later repaired, the garage it was in was destroyed by fire.

#Later the car was displayed in Sacramento, but it fell off it’s mount and broke a teenager’s hip.

#In Oregon, the trailer that the car was mounted on slipped from it’s tow bar and smashed through the front of a shop.

#Finally, in 1959, the car mysteriously broke into 11 pieces while it was sitting on steel support.

Thank god Oluwa ju lo at last

All the aforementioned incidents happened 129 years after. This explicitly implies that it happened on the same year.

3. Lincoln and Kennedy had many strange coincidences surrounding their presidencies.
Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy, Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln. Both were six feet tall and both were assassinated on a Friday.

12. Taxi
In 1975, while riding a moped in Bermuda, a man was accidentally struck and killed by a taxi. One year later, this man’s bother was killed in the very same way. In fact, he was riding the very same moped. And to stretch the odds even further, he was struck by the very same taxi driven by the same driver – and even carrying the very same passenger!

what the Op was trying to say was that '4.Hitler and Napoleon had several coincidences.
Hitler was born 129 years after Napoleon was born, came to power 129 years after Napoleon became Emperor of France and invaded Russia 129 years after Napoleon led 375,000 french soldiers to their death by invading Russian. Ultimately, he was defeated 129 years after Napoleon.

Meanwhile Napoleone :Born: August 15, 1769,

Adolf Hitler; Born: April 20, 1889

Which is 129years difference

I think he was born 129 years after Napoleon was born, came into power 129years after Napoleon got power, invaded Russia after 129years Napoleon invaded wherever and was defeated 129years after Napoleon was defeated... stand to be corrected though.

So let me correct you.

Hitler was born in 1889 while Napoleon in 1769. 120 years earlier

Hitler was defeated in 1945 while Napoleon in 1815. 130 years earlier.

7. Poker Luck
In 1858, Robert Fallon was shot dead, an act of vengeance by those with whom he was playing poker. Fallon, they claimed, had won the $600 pot through cheating. With Fallon’s seat empty and none of the other players willing to take the now-unlucky $600, they found a new player to take Fallon’s place and staked him with the dead man’s $600. By the time the police had arrived to investigate the killing, the new player had turned the $600 into $2,200 in winnings. The police demanded the original $600 to pass on to Fallon’s next of kin – only to discover that the new player turned out to be Fallon’s son, who had not seen his father in seven years!

16.Just like Edgar Allan Poe’s book
“In the 19th century, the famous horror writer, Egdar Allan Poe, wrote a book called ‘The narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym’. It was about four survivors of a shipwreck who were in an open boat for many days before they decided to kill and eat the cabin boy whose name was Richard Parker.

“Some years later, in 1884, the yawl, Mignonette, foundered, with only four survivors, who were in an open boat for many days. Eventually the three senior members of the crew, killed and ate the cabin boy. The name of the cabin boy was Richard Parker.

The dates on this one did not make sense
