1
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: What do we got there on the cutting room floor today?

2
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: Friend, I've got a story of crazy coincidence, yep, a

3
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: giant what are the chances? And a sad what are

4
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: the chances? This is the story that apparently sounds impossible,

5
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: but it is one hundred percent trip okay. On July eighteen,

6
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy five, a young man called erskine Eben tragically

7
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: lost his life when his moped collided with a taxi

8
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: in Hamilton and unfortunate I'm reading the story an unfortunate

9
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 2: but not uncommon accident. But here's where it gets eerie?

10
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: Are you ready? Lean En Brendon, exactly one year earlier,

11
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: July eighteenth, nineteen seventy four, his brother Neville died in

12
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: the exact same way, riding the same moped, crashing into

13
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 2: the same taxi driven by the same driver carrying the

14
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,279
Speaker 2: same passenger on the same stretch of road, both boys

15
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: age seventeen. WHOA, that's a giant? Whoa the chilling coincidence

16
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: that says his sparked a full inquest, ultimately clearing the

17
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: taxi driver of any wrongdoing.

18
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: How weeds that? And the passenger? You think you know?

19
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: This is the opposite of a lucky day for everyone.

20
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: So the odds of that happening do the mass really hard?

21
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: They are so the mystery, they say here, Even though

22
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: the taxi driver was cleared of wrongdoing, the mystery refuses

23
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: to fade.

24
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: Some believe it was a glitch in the matrix. No, yeah,

25
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: the Pete Evans is of the world.

26
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: Yeah right, but maybe maybe in parallel universe as there's

27
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: a giant glitch because coincidence is like this. Sure they

28
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: can happen, but what and they say, others suspect something

29
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: more sinister, theories of fate deja vous a planned murder,

30
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: like why would you the same passenger that's the that's freezing,

31
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: same bicycle, be same taxi driver, same taxi, same passenger,

32
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: same place.

33
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: And same date. There are a lot of variable family.

34
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: I've not as in any way as amazing as that

35
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 3: when I first got my first radio job.

36
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: I can't imagine this would be anywhere near in Western Australia.

37
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 3: I landed in Perth and the taxi driver that took

38
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 3: me from the airport to where I was going to

39
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 3: stay before I went on the next flight up to Kartha,

40
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 3: we just got to talking and I talked about radio

41
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: and all that sort of stuff from all my hopes

42
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 3: and dreams, and he said, well, good luck with that, mate,

43
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: and we had this great chat.

44
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: We had a really good chat, me and this guy,

45
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,480
