Do you feel this way about repeat occurrences? Is this an appeal to the reader's sense of fate/destiny? I work in telecom. When a aReallyBadThing happens, a post-mortem has to be compiled, and steps are taken to ensure that aReallyBadThing doesn't happen again. There are unavoidable perils in telecom, like backhoe operators, weather, train derailments, and malicious actors. However, there are events which do not repeat because people figure out that a software/firmware package is coded to do something wrong, a component fails under certain conditions, an operator does something that they shouldn't, or maintenance isn't done correctly or on time.
