I just saw the article and was in complete shock. Seriously, what are the chances??

Haitian family survives 2 big quakes in 2 months (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/lt_chile_earthquake_twice_cursed - broken link)

Why I am thinking this is like some Final Destination-type-ish? That's what it seems like. I think something is out to get them. What are the chances they were in the Haiti earthquake, than halfway around the world they got caught in the Chile quake as well?!

reminds me of the news story about this woman who worked at the WTC and escaped during 9/11 only to die a month or so later when the plane she was on crashed in Queens. stories like that are common and crazy

Ya think they would have survived a hand shake by GWB? Watching him wipe his hand after shaking theirs?
As if they don't have enough trauma to deal with.
