Some argue that there is no place for randomness in the world. Everything must have its own cause, effect. Others believe that the surrounding reality is chaos. In which any regularity does not have a practical basis, and as a result, it is impossible to predict and foresee anything.
You can consider the facts and some examples in which a seemingly blind chance points to a certain pattern. And it should be noted that some people can be conditionally divided into two categories. They say about the first that he was born in a shirt, about the second, that he was born under an unlucky star. This division has a basis. After all, there are people who simply attract failures. And in such cases, talking about accidents is very difficult.
As an example, you can consider the life of the English admiral John Byron (this is the grandfather of the great poet).
Here we can confidently say that this is an example of a pathological failure. The admiral's contemporaries argued that no one ever remembered a case when the admiral plowed the seas and oceans in clear weather. As soon as Byron stepped on the deck of the ship, the sun immediately gave way to clouds, it began to rain with lightning and thunderstorms. And the bad weather did not stop the whole campaign. But as soon as the time came for the ship to moor to the shore, and the admiral left the ship, as the bad weather mystically stopped immediately. It seemed that the admiral was attracting a thunderstorm.
Such a unique case that happened in Japan in 1988. Under the guidance of a teacher, the students studied mountaineering skills. When climbing the mountain, a thunderstorm broke out. A heavy rain began, the teacher said that everyone should be tied with a safety rope so that no one fell off and was not lost, and this measure was taken in accordance with the rules, but … a detachment of schoolchildren walking one after another was struck by lightning, and every third in the bundle was killed! And how can you explain such a terrible, inexplicable selectivity of the elements? And this case, what can the accident or the regularity of a natural phenomenon refer to?
In 1829, a striking and incomprehensible incident occurred with the schooner Mormade. In October, the schooner left Sydney, circled the eastern coast of the mainland, entered the Torres Strait. Which is considered to be quite dangerous for shipping. The schooner ran into the reef and sank from the resulting hole. The team escaped by climbing onto the bare stones that jutted out of the water. And without food and water they spent three days on them. On the fourth day they were picked up by the bark Sweetshaw. But two days later, he also ran into the reef and sank. And now two carriages find themselves on bare stones.
The passing schooner "Gavernou Reid" saved the shipwrecked. The sailors from the Mormade were especially happy. After two crashes, despite all the misfortunes, they were saved. And it seemed that nothing could darken this joy … But the patterns did not agree with this and made their own correction.
And a few hours later a fire starts on the ship, and the efforts of the three teams to fight the elements were unsuccessful. And people, having got over to the boats, leave the dying ship. And again luck smiles at the unfortunate, on the horizon soon appeared the sails of the warship "Comet". And three crews escaped safely.

It was difficult for the naval sailors to believe the story of the shipwrecked. It was just incredible. This in nature already could not be called a coincidence. But the surprises did not end there … the storm that broke out sank the warship. And there were already four crews of sailors on the boats packed to capacity.
But at the same time they were lucky again, the sailors were rescued by the "Rising Star" sailing ship, having hardly accommodated all the people (there were almost two hundred people). And all would be fine, but … the ship hit the reef and broke through the bottom, and now five crews found themselves on the rocks.
And now, at last, fate smiled at the sailors, a large passenger ship "Continent Australia" passing alongside picked up the shipwrecked and delivered them to the mainland without incident. This ended a unique series of maritime disasters.
And can this real case be accepted as a rule? And how can such whims of fate be explained?
Here is another example of Mrs. Lydia, who lived in the city of Lodz. In 1967, the entire Polish press was talking about her. An elderly woman was constantly buying tickets for the money and clothing lottery. At first nothing happened, but after … four times in a row she won cars, and for the fifth time she didn't even bother to check the ticket, but went straight to the bank … but that was the end of her luck.
