Very Weird Coincidences

I was watching the new show "The Family" about a boy who had been abducted 10 years previously. I won't get into detail because I wasn't paying too much attention. But near the end the daughter said to her father that she knew about Nina. Next thing I know an Amber Alert goes across the bottom of the screen. I've never seen one like this before. The sound for the show cut out and the ticker tape was read by a computerized voice. When "The Family" ended I changed channels (to an American one) to watch CSI Cyber. At the beginning of THAT show everyone is getting an alert on their telephone. Then my television literally changed the channel to the Amber Alert channel where the alert was full on the screen being read by the computerized voice. This happened a couple of times during CSI. Then, during CSI, one of the detectives is approached by his father who asks, "Who is Nina?" Is that crazy, or what? Coincidence #1 - Two shows similar to an Amber Alert that came on my television. Coincidence #2 - The character named Nina in both shows, the supposed other woman. Does it ever happen to you that you are talking with someone and one of you will say something and at the same time or immediately thereafter the same phrase is spoken on the television? It almost feels like a psychic moment. It happens to me a lot when I am reading a book while the television is on. I will read something that I suddenly hear on the t.v. These are such weird coincidences.

My daughter's boyfriend pointed out to me, once, that something was just said on television that I had just said. I find it happens all the time. But the shows and the alerts and the character name? That actually creeped me out.

It does seem weird. I think the Amber alerts are a good thing...we don't have that here at the moment.

I have seen the channel on the guide and we do get tickers across the bottom of the screen but this is the first time my channel changed over to the alert. Like how many times do I need to see it?

@patgalca probably if you're the parent of the missing kid they'd want you to see it 24/7 until the situation is resolved.
