Story of the day

Chatting to octopoid_horror about the lucky coincidence of one of the 7/7 bombings happening outside of the HQ of the British Medical Association, and he told me that:
A girl at work tore a tendon and fractured her foot playing rugby. Luckily one team was all physiotherapists and the other was all nurses.

One wonders just how often these things happen...

So some things are coincidental, sure but..

"By yet another coincidence, a medical conference was also being held at the BMA. It meant dozens of doctors were on hand to offer lifesaving expertise. "

There were literally dozens of doctors inside the BMA having a conference? The chances of that are literally millions to one against it not happening ;)

Well, I doubt there are conferences there every day - the British Psychological Society only has one major conference per year. But there might be a rotating schedule of them or something I guess.
