1. In 1979, the German magazine - Das Besteran - held a writing competition. The authors must submit stories are not uncommon, but should be based on a true story. The winner, Walter Kellner of Munich, eventually won the race and the story was published. He writes about the time he flew a Cessna 421 between Sardinia and Sicily. The plane experienced a problem at sea, landed on the water, she finally adrift with emergency floats quite a long time before finally rescued. This story was accidentally read by an Austrian citizen, whose name is also Walter Kellner, who accused the German Kellner had plagiarized the story. Kellner of Austria said that he flew a Cessna 421 past the same sea, experienced engine trouble, and finally had landed in Sardinia. So essentially, it's the same story, but with a different ending. The magazine checked both the truth of their stories, and both turned out to be true, almost exactly the same. 

2. On July 28, 1900, the King of Italy Umberto I had dinner at a restaurant in the town of Monza. It was the owner of the restaurant face exactly the same as the king.

6. The British actor Anthony Hopkins delighted when he got the lead role in a movie based on a book called The Girl From Petrovka written by George Feifer. A few days after signing the contract, Hopkins traveled to London to buy the book. He tried several bookshops, but there is nothing to sell. While waiting for the train home in Leicester Square, he noticed a book lying on the lounge chairs. Miraculously, it turns out that the book The Girl From Petrovka. It turned out that coincidences do not end there. Two years later, while filming in Vienna, Hopkins was visited by George Feifer, author of the book. Feifer said that he lost his own book. He lent his books - with a few notes in his own handwriting - to his friend, who then lost the book somewhere in London. With astonishment, Hopkins gives Feifer the book he found. 'It's the book?' she asked, 'with a note on the outskirts of his home?' It was the same book. 

 7. A British officer, Major Summerford, when it was fighting in the area of ​​Flanders in February 1918 fell from his horse due to lightning and he became paralyzed from the waist down.

And he was walking in the garden in the summer in 1930 when a lightning struck her back, and eventually incapacitate permanently. He died two years later.

10. The story of identical twins who live together usually almost as stunning, but perhaps no one can match the story of identical twins born in Ohio.

I don't get how people getting killed by lightnings or hangeds, etc, could it be inspirational or motivational.

It's a hint.
