Italy: 3 brothers suffer heart attacks on same day

Three Sicilian brothers had heart attacks on the same day which killed two of them, while the third was saved because was visiting his mother in hospital, the Corriere della Sera daily said Tuesday.

Guido and Alberto Garofalo were in the middle of a family picnic on Sunday in a pine forest on the slopes of Sicily's Mount Etna volcano when Guido, who was 45, suffered a heart attack and dropped dead on the spot.

His brother Alberto, 54, rushed to his brother's side but was overcome with emotion and his heart also gave way, the paper said.
The third brother, Salvatore, was visiting their elderly mother in hospital in the Sicilian city of Catania at the time and did not know what had happened to Guido and Alberto when he too suffered a heart attack.
He was immediately taken to the emergency room where doctors were able to stabilise his condition, it said.

History Mystery

 

Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.     Abraham  Lincoln    was  elected to Congress in 1846. John F.  Kennedy    was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham  Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. Both were particularly concerned with civil  rights. Both wives lost their children while  living in the   White  House. Both Presidents were shot on a  Friday. Both Presidents were shot in the  head Now it gets really  weird. Lincoln 's secretary was named  Kennedy. Kennedy's Secretary was named   Lincoln . Both were assassinated by  Southerners. Both were succeeded by  Southerners named Johnson. Andrew  Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in  1808. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy,  was born in 1908. John  Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born  in 1839.     Lee  Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was  born    in  1939.   Both  assassins were known by their three  names. Both names are composed of fifteen  letters. Now hang on to your  seat. Lincoln was shot at the theater  named 'Ford'. Kennedy was shot in a car  called ' Lincoln ' made by  'Ford'. Lincoln was shot in a theater and  his assassin ran and hid in a  warehouse. Kennedy was shot from a warehouse  and his assassin ran and hid in a  theater. Booth and Oswald were  assassinated before their trials.       WHO  FIGURED THIS OUT? INCREDIBLE     1)  Fold a    NEW    $20  bill in half... 2)  Fold again, taking care to fold it exactly as  below 3)  Fold the other end, exactly as  before 4)  Now, simply turn it  over... What  a coincidence! A simple geometric fold creates a  catastrophic premonition printed on all $20  bills!!! COINCIDENCE? As  if that wasn't enough... Here  is what you've seen... Firstly, the Pentagon is on  fire... Then    The  Twin Towers. TRIPLE  COINCIDENCE ON A SIMPLE $20  BILL Disaster  (Pentagon) Disaster  ( Twin Towers ) Disaster  (Osama)??? It  gets even better ... 9 + 11 = ($)20! Creepy  huh? Send this to as many people as you can,  because:   Hey,  this is one history lesson most people probably  will   not  mind  reading!
