Some people point to all the negative occurrences on various Fridays the 13th throughout history as a way to prove that the day is unlucky. Examples include hundreds of Knights Templar being arrested in 1307, the bombing of Buckingham Palace in 1940, the murder of Kitty Genovese in Queens, New York (1964), the death of rapper Tupac Shakur (1996), and the wreck of the Costa Concordia cruise ship off the coast of Italy (2012). Yes, those are all unfortunate incidents, but bad things happen every single day of the year, so this may not be the strongest argument.
