Lightning 13

Moi on Apollo 13 ici:

I understand that 13 comes after 12, so that's just what the next number was. And I understand that of all people, engineers are not a superstitious bunch. But actually launching the thing at 13:13 and having it enter the moon's gravitational pull on the 13th was kinda asking for it, no?

And then there's this poor bastard:

In August 2010, a British teenager proved Friday the 13th can be specially unlucky. At exactly 13:13 on the much-feared date, the teenager was among a crowd of 170,000 people watching an aeronautical display at the Lowestoft Seafront Air Festival, in the east of England, when all of the sudden, he was struck by lightning. "It's all a bit strange that (...) it happened at 13:13 on Friday 13" said the paramedic. Luckily, he only suffered minor burns and is expected to make a full recovery.

The teen was... 13 years old.
