Go to wikipedia and read about it. If there are such events!

I believe there are, but far more reported than actually exist. The most popular one at the moment maybe The Princess Diana-Dodi Fayed accident,Marylin Monroe, John F.Kennedy , Abraham Lincoln are some examples. It is human nature to question after all and that is how these start some just have a life all their own. Lots to disuss on this topic for sure.:)

Only god knows what really happened.  I have all kinds of suspicions, but we would have to ask these officials to investigate and prosecute themselves, and that isn't likely to ever happen.

I think history will judge Paul martin fairly accurately.\nBeing that is quite possibly could be a victim of unfortunate circumstance.  One of the pillars in a party riddled with corruption.   however being that he was the finance minster during ad-scam, I find that to be unlikely.

A friend told me the one about the couple who are on vacation and get robbed of everything but their camera and toothbrushes as happening to his cousin.\n\nAn ex-girlfriend told me the Eddie Murphy "hit the floor" one as happening to her aunt's friend in Atlantic City.\n\nIt's amazing how credible they can be.

For heaven's sake. You are a total crackpot who believes every nutty story that comes along. Yes, it happened. But idiots like you will never believe it. I wish there was a way to blast people like you into outer space.

I believe in ghostly events.  Having witnessed 5 events personally and watched my daughter holding a conversation with my mother after my mother had died.  As I have told of one of my experiences in a Wiltshire pub previously I will not re-tell that one, however I  will share these 2 with you.\n\nSome years ago, whilst working as a Security Supervisor at a Retail Outlet my colleague started out on his patrol.  As he wandered sown the mall he shouted back to me, "look at the clock".  The clock he was referring to was an old railway platform clock that had been restored and worked fine.  The hands on the clock were spinning furiously in different directions, they continued to do so for about 10 minutes then they stopped at the correct time and kept time for the remainder of the shift. (The whole thing was recorded on CCTV as we knew no-one would believe us).\n\nAt the same venue, I observed a man wearing a burgundy waistcoat walk into a children's playing area and towards some glass doors linking two of the malls. These doors were locked, the fire exits to the left of the doors were secured by plastic seals  and the only way back out would have been to return the same way as he had entered. Back through the children's playing area and along the concourse. Once again all the CCTV cameras in that area (there was 3) were pointing at this man who would be about 50-55 years old, quite a portly figure wearing a burgundy waistcoat and white shirt (please bear in mind that it was in the early hours of the morning and quite cold).  When my colleague went to investigate the man was no where to be seen. He checked the fire exits and all seals were intact, all the mall doors were locked. The only way that he could have gone was back through the playing area.  After the shift we pulled the CCTV tapes and you could follow this man's steps all the way up to the mall doors, where he goes out of sight behind a brick pillar, then moments later my colleague arrives at the location to find no-one there.\n\n(The outlet is a regenerated Railway building - could it have been an old station master?)\n\nThere will always be some people who do not believe - but I have seen too much to believe there is nothing after this life for us.

The story is told about clinton, but I'm not sure if it's true. It's also told about the Hungarian flag. You can find many references to this event by using Yahoo search, but nobody can tell you if it's the truth just like you can find many stories of hillary thowing lamps at clinton's head during their fights - but are any true? Nobody but those two can say.

No.!!!!!!!\n\nSomeone decided it would be fun to start a hoax by changing her entry in Wikipedia and then posting in Answers.\n\nIf you hear something on the net, go to some reputable sites.  If it is supposed to have happened today, check TV news or newspapers, or their sites.

No. The movie you mention while having spectacular CGI was fiction. Hollywood is in the business of selling tickets, as a result, they stretch the facts about as much as a politician does.

Of course I would beleive you. So are you going to tell that it happened to you or is this a hypothetical question?
582871
yes it happened, and there is no rationale to kill your opponenets if you are a prophet, it used to be in reality if you are a politician (although it is not acceptable anymore). This is the problem when faith gets mixed with politics.

There is an excellent and very detailed analysis of this question in the book "Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time" by Michael Shermer. He discusses the motivations and tactics of those who deny the Holocaust ever happened; then he goes on to provide evidence of how we know it did. It's a fascinating book. I highly recommend it.\n\nAnd yes, as you can imagine, they are largely anti-Semitic with a bit of a paranoid streak, and tend to be conspiracy theorists as well.

Of course not.  There is no evidence, credible or otherwise, that indicates he, or anyone else in government, knew it was going to happen.\n\nWas there any knowledge of some time of terrorist activity in the works?  Likely, just as we've seen several times since then.  The thing to remember is that "knowing that something might happen somewhere, sometime" and "knowing what will happen where, when" are two entirely different things.  Unfrotunately this concept is beyond the grasp of the 3rd graders and those who just have a pathological need to believe the worst about other people.

It might have been, too much of the evidence is gone now.\nNo, I do not believe the story the government told us.

Yep. True story.\n\nBut not real nukes.
