Many people fear the number 13 . Some businessmen avoid this number as it is believed that it would bring great financial losses. My house number is 13 but the housing developer was probably superstitious so added 'A' making it HSE 13A. I've lived here for almost 4 years and recorded no untoward incidents except once when a cobra entered my garden that killed my dog.
Yesterday Friday 13 was really a black friday . A young undergraduate was killed instantly as he was just about to park his car in one of the hotel parking lots where he was working part time. A man jumped from the 13th floor of the hotel and landed right on top of his car. The impact of the fall damaged part of the car roof, crushing the victim.
Was it a coincidence that it was Friday 13 and the man jumped from the 13th Floor ? Was it just bad luck?

@Castlerock34 maybe when something really bad happen on a certain date, people will mark it as unlucky number.

It's just a coincidence; it is the human who is doing his fate; if he is careful, then there'll be no accidents.

@zandi458 I think so too, it was a statement and he saw some poetic irony in his choice of where and when to do it, which still terribly sad
