Snowblower
A man by the name of Arthur Sicard who became frustrated by the difficulty of transporting milk from the farm to market developed the idea for the snowblower. The roots of the snowblower begin in the fields around his farm when he first saw a threshing machine. He realized that by utilizing the rotating blades used for threshing it was possible to build a similarly rotating blade, which would blow snow.

UAL 232: The Sioux City Crash
It was a strange convergence of events that brought about this disaster. It was an equally unlikely amount of good fortune that allowed the DC-10 to make it to the runway at Sioux City Gateway Airport, and for nearly 200 lives to be saved. Jung might have called it synchronicity, others might simply say it was an extreme example of Murphy’s Law. What it amounted to was one of the most startling and fascinating accidents in commercial air history.
