Once OK, but twice? in the same day??

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
My wife and I boarded a train, we were discussing a friend who was having a torrid time with a challenging teenage daughter. The district line train stopped at a station the door opened and my friend and his daughter got on. We chatted to them, they were going to go the the V&A museum, we were going shopping in Covent Garden. We got off the train first.
We ambled around the shops and at around lunchtime we found ourselve in the Trocadero centre, no reason why, we never normally do go in there though. We came across our friend and his daughter again. It was so weird it felt awkward, like who's doing the stalking. But it was a double coincidence, chances of millions to one.
