yeah but out of the 200 or so that died, what are the chances that a few days later the person who missed that flight dies? the odds are massive, first of all the odds of dying in a plane crash is 1 in 11,000,000,000
the odds of dying in a car accident is about 1 in 6500
the odds of dying in a car accident a few days after a fatal crash of an airliner which you had missed boarding on must be astronomical, but of course it must happen at some point, so

yeak, truly weird. i thought about this because of white sharks, i'd love to swim nearby a white sharks but its totally dangerous, so i thought about similar stats, like surviving an air crash, then swimming with sharks. (not sure it makes any sense at all)

In Buddhist beliefs, the universe or God controls our destiny and our fate depends on our behavior, so it can change ...
I know this was a coincidence, but it's very interesting thinking about odds and probability

11,000,000,000? I think you've overestimated by a paltry 10 billion 890 million to 1.
