Both photographers take multiple shots with a short shutter, usually from the same places, and usually trying to pick the same events. So the only coincidence is basically having two photographers be at the same place and time.
I don't know what come to your mind after reading that article, but mine was: Oh man! Canon 5D Mark IV is truly far better than 60D. Shopping cart added.

Something I learned a few weeks ago (after many years of using USB) is that usually cables have the USB logo or marking on the "right side" up. So if you don't know which one is the right side up, the one with the logo should win. Might help some other lost souls here :)
This works until you need to plug something into the back of a computer with vertical ports.
I had a similar thing happen. While browsing Google Maps I found what looked like a poorly cropped version of one of my photos: My photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/40423570@N07/35437050686/ Their photo: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Fort+Armistead+Park/@39.20... However, upon inspection I realized there were differences. It kind of blew my mind that someone had taken a picture of the same sunrise at the same…
>It kind of blew my mind that someone had taken a picture of the same sunrise at the same time, from almost the same spot. Depends on the spot. I'm sure that, on any given morning, there are probably shots taken in a place like Zabriskie Point that are effectively indistinguishable. (Of course, once there are moving objects in the frame, photos that look identical become much less likely.)

Looks at first sight like much of a bigger coincidence, but given that you probably both used a long shutter speed (yours seems to have been 6s) and selected the nicest of a number of shots, it's not like there are crazy chances against getting two almost identical shots like this.
Oh yeah, I don't deny it isn't insanely improbable. Still, finding same strike in a newspaper, shot from a very similar angle, was quite surprising.
I once plugged my usb cable in on the first try. Goes to show you anything is possible!! Edit: upon further inspection it turns out it was USB-C. Nevermind, all is right with the world :)
i know it's a joke, but the usb logo on the plug is always on top, so you can just orient it 'up' according to the underlying board (up for laptops, and facing left for desktops)
