In 1975 a 17 year old boy was killed while riding his moped. He was killed exactly a year after his 17 year old brother was killed while riding the same moped, in the same intersection, by the same taxi, with the same driver, carrying the same passenger.

Possible Explanation

The Bermuda Islands Also know as The Somers Isles, has limited land mass, and its capital Hamilton is spread over a small area off about 173 acres, having a living population of 1,800 in 2010. This means, in 1974, the number of people living in the area of the accidents could be a lot less, and the number of cabs in the area, and the people who used them would be even smaller. In that case it wouldn’t be much of a coincidence that two Brothers lived in the same area and that one has inherited the moped of his Brother. So the probability that the two Brothers would get hit by the same cab, carrying the same passenger, in the same street would not be that small. Still a tragic interesting coincidence nonetheless.
