Worst luck ever: couple vacation in New York, London and Mumbai just as terrorists attack

The Sydney Times Herald is reporting the uncanny story of Mr. and Mrs. James and Jenny Cairns-Lawrence, a young couple from Dudley, United Kingdom, who seem to have a knack for choosing vacation spots where terrorists are about to strike: they have found themselves in New York, London and Mumbai during the exact times that each of the three cities were viciously attacked by terrorists.

Says Mrs. Cairns-Lawrence, "It's a strange coincidence. The terror attacks just happened when we were in the cities. I shouldn't be laughing about it, but it is a strange coincidence."

Dude, remind me to check where these two are the next time I plan an international trip. And as one of my Gadling colleagues said, aren't people like these usually called "persons of interest"?
