After any disaster you get all the coincidence stories. Folks who weren't there because of an accident, illness, traffic jam, last minute change of plans, etc. You also hear stories of victims who were only there because of some happenstance.

Just 2 days before 9/11, Sunday, I watched a TV show about 10 possible terror targets in the USA. 8 of them only gave me a hohum, Sears Tower, Statue of Liberty, Prudential in SF, etc
But the Twin Towers and Pentagon gave me an instant jaw drop and dread feeling. I have had many others come true.

I was spared from the Oklahoma City bombing, the first trade center bombings, 9/11, Benghazi, and the Paris attacks. Hadn't even thought of traveling to those cities at those times. Just stayed home doing my day job. What a coincidence to be spared from all those disasters. What are the odds.

So I gather you haven't heard the story of the church furnace that blew up when the choir was to be gathered.... Except ALL of them were late for some weird reason.
