In the same vein, Titanic hitting the iceberg and sinking coincide with the Lincoln assassination and the Apollo 13 accident.

Anyone ever heard of Violet Jessop? If not, look her up. Pretty astonishing story, hers - she served on - and survived accidents, sinkings, and near-sinkings - all three of the White Star Line's sister ships: first the Oceanic, which collided with HMS Hawke and was heavily damaged; then Titanic, which sunk; and lastly, the Brittanic, last of the sister ships, which was converted to a hospital ship during WWI and on which Ms. Jessop served as a nurse, when it struck a mine and sank in the Aegean Sea in 1916.

I don't know if this was the luckiest woman in the world, or the unluckiest, but she managed to survive all three ships...
