Wolf dog and wild boers

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge.

On hearing the news of the catastrophe of the Germanwings plain
on the 25th March I soon tried to figure out what I was doing at the moment when the plain disappeared from the radar-screen on the 24th, 10:53. I found that almost exactly this was the time when I was sending an email to a married couple in Schwitzerland. A link, no text. Title: "Wolf dog and wild boers"
(As an avarege I send 5 emails - a week...)
I could not establish any imaginative or mystical link between this and that horrible catastrophe. (Apart from an interesting connection perhaps. This couple travelled on the 22th from Berlin to Zurich - by train. On asking them on the 21st, why they decided to use the train instead of flying - what, to my knowledge, thay had always done - they had given me an evasive answer. My hunch was/is: out of fear of a terrorist attack. )
I was sending them my "Wolf dog and wild boers" (without text )in the moments of a terroristic act.
