On a little book I found this information:

"On 11 September 1609 Henry Hudson descovered Manhattan Isle"

It's only a coincidence?

Yes, a coincidence. Actually, Hudson didn't discover it, he was merely the first European to find it. The natives knew it was there all along.

I asked another question. It is a coincidence that on 11 September 1609 Henry Hudson found Manhattan Isle and on 11 September 2001 World Trade Center was demolished by terrorists?
Is it possible that they choose that day as the best one for making that disaster?

Thanks.

Is it a coincidence that the same day in 2004 the amendments to Collingwood's sign bylaw were brought to council for debate is the same day in 1812 that Napoleon and his Grande Armee crossed the Berezina in their retreat from Moscow?

Or that both happened on the same day in 1941 that Japan's Imperial Conference decided diplomacy had failed and war with the USA was inevitable?

The answer's the same: coincidence. Anything else is mere superstition.
