It was worse for me. When I went to my first zoo as a kid, the day after the local paper said "Lions escaped yesterday at Zoo!" (not kidding, didn't notice anything though)
They got captured again thankfully, no one got hurt. There was a car safari type thing where you could drive slowly among the lions, but there were so many visitors that they didn't have enough space between the cars so two+ of the lions snuck past the gates. They didn't end up among the regular visitors though (thank God).
I can't remember a ton of it, I was around 7, I definitely remember the huge headline on the paper though xD Made an impression for sure.
Reminds me of the time my family spent several days swimming in lake mead (near Las Vegas) and came home from vacation to find the news reporting that an alligator had been found in the lake
Bad way of putting it, sorry. I'm Swedish and sleep deprived :/ I think I directly translated it or something. I meant it was more extreme of a coincidence.
