Not really a close brush with Dr death
but i did sail to Zeebrugge on the Herald of Free Enterprise 4 days before several others only sailed a few hundred yards on it.
Also have a mate who works for Oracle that missed his morning wake up call and was already a good half an hour behind schedule for a meeting, so decided to fake the " I'm ill" routine. A matter of minutes later the first plane hit the twin towers . Different floor but not a good place to have been, i suspect.

Yes, I have also not been on a ferry when it capsized.
Come to think of it, I wasn't in that plane that crashed in San Francisco the other day, nor was I in That Canadian town that got blown up by a train. I'm having so many lucky escapes this week, I must be the luckiest man alive.

I've used Oracle.

You'd think of all companies Oracle
would have had some sort of foretelling of said incident!
( number5 has been fighting tramps and losing., Wed 10 Jul 2013, 14:58, closed)

I can think of only one company named Oracle.
But I get the point, Oracle being a person who sees things of the future but foretells them to people.
