I think that a lot of these horrors take place in April because everyone has been cooped up for the winter and we are all suffering from Cabin Fever. Which can make some people "crazy". In the spring time (here in the US) everyone goes out and travels and commits unspeakable acts. With the exception of the Titanic of course. That one I can't fit into my theory.

Well, ist good rsearch work that you have done. but, i feel that if you go back in history every month will have the same vicious background as April. There is nothing special in April. Every month is the same. But, its god that you have given some effort towards your discussion.

What a good observation skills you have my dear.. those events are really tragic but I think the good ones are often forgotten than remembered. some good events are not written in history. Look in the positive side.

I don't know why all the tragedies happened at this time. I do agree there are others just as horrific in other months it's just hitting us hard right now due to the fact that the one just happened. Right now we are noticing them all so to speak. It could be due to weather changes and how they play on the body and earth. This makes some sense but I don't know if that's the only answer. Perhaps it's something in the stars. I don't know. I just wish they would stop.

it's just because something horrible happened this year in April, that you decided to look into other things that happened in April.
But there have been PLENTY of other horrible things happening in other months?
Hurricane Katrina
9/11
The attack on Pearl Harbor
Bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima
Devastating earthquakes in california
Tsunamis
Citywide destructive fires, like in Chicago, San Fransisco, London
Floods
Tornados
Hijackings
Bombings
Airline accidents
Ice storms and blizzards
wild fires
daily life in Iraq...
it's not a curse of April, bad things are always happening.

This is the first time that I've seen all of these tragedies connected to the month of April. I wonder if may things that are premeditated, aren't done so with previous tragedies in mind. I especially thought this to be true of this week's massacre in connection to the Columbine massacre as the gunman mentioned that he connected with those killers as well. I would hope that it is just an awful coincidence, but who really knows for sure.
