I think the public should be just as willing to accept the concept of an anti-miracle. An anti-miracle is a detrimental event which is extremely unlikely. In their own way, anti-miracles are just as common as miracles but they are just not labeled as such. Anti-miracles could include many misfortunes ranging from the sad to the bizarre. These are just a fraction of what could be considered an anti-miracle.
Bystanders tend to be the victims of a lot of anti-miracles.
Philadelphia Association for Critical Thinking Miracles and anti-miracles are sometimes separated by slight quirks of circumstance. A tractor-trailer is speeding down the interstate during the evening rush hour. A tire pops off the truck in the northbound lane, bounces over the road divider and into oncoming south-bound traffic. It bounces over and between ten cars, finally coming to a stop at the far side of the road. On a different day, another tire goes over the divider and through the windshield of an oncoming car killing the passengers.
