Odd start to 2011

The first five days of 2011 has been packed with odd events in Sweden and elsewhere. On 1st of Jan. a train crashed into Malmö station and part of it got completely demolished! On the same day it was found that famous swedish actor Per Oscarsson's house in the middle of no-where had burned to the ground without anyone noticing. It is believed both he and his wife both burned in.Today it has been confirmed that the remains of two bodies have been found. Again on the same day, in the morning a 65 year-old lady was found to have been locked in at Kalmar Castle over the night and as a result froze to death. Yesterday, 4th January a big crane tipped over in central Malmö and crushed a car and people fleed in panic. People have again started dying from swineflue. Only a few cases in Sweden so far, but in the UK 39 people have died and for another 738 people it is critical. In the early hours of 5th of Jan. hundreds of jackdaws dropped dead to the ground in Falköping. This has also happened in the USA at new years eve and it is believed there might be a connection. Scientists are now working on trying to find the reason. Either way it is believed to be a bad omen since birds normally react earlier to things than humans. Considering that it's many nights after new years, the explanation that they were all frightened by fireworks does not suffice.

  1. aside from the crow thing, in which there might be a connection between the ones in the us and the ones in sweden... there's no way any of the things you listed can be linked. It's purely coincidence, not to mention that disasters etc happen all the time. People are paranoid and are always searching for signs and omens...

    Also, I highly doubt that any of this has anything to do with the fact that this happens to be the point where the vast majority of humans in the western world start counting a new year - it's just coincidence stuff is happening around the time the new year is celebrated on the gregorian calendar

    It may be a bit of an odd start to 2011, but it only seems more odd as people are focusing on it and paying extra attention because everyone seems to be LOOKING for bad signs these days...
