He was lucky to escape with just a scratched leg, but the accident did write off his car. This was another chapter in Lonergan's run of bad luck, with his car getting broken into just a week and a half before the accident.

From 1858 onwards, the so-called "Afghan" cameleers and their beasts played an instrumental role in opening up the outback and helping to build infrastructure. The competition to chart a route for the Australian Overland Telegraph Line spurred a number of cross- continental expeditions. Perhaps the most famous of these was the Burke and Wills expedition led by Robert O'Hara Burke and William John Wills who in 1860–61 led a well equipped expedition from Melbourne to the Gulf of Carpentaria. Due to an unfortunate run of bad luck, oversight and poor leadership, Burke and Wills both died on the return trip.

A run of bad luck could end an entire community and begging potentially angry and vengeful but unseen powers for the necessities of day-to-day survival is a common consequence of a precarious existence. For the Inuit, to offend an anirniq was to risk extinction. The principal role of the angakkuq in Inuit culture and society was to advise and remind people of the rituals and taboos they needed to obey to placate the spirits, since he was held to be able to see and contact them. The anirniit are seen to be a part of the sila — the sky or air around them — and are merely borrowed from it.

Reese Burton is described as a "rich and pampered", yet naive, woman "who remains unselfish despite her wealth and privilege." Lane MacKenzie is perky and levelheaded, and "remains loyal to her friends despite a run of bad luck."

Travis, who turns out to be "the nastiest guy this side of J. R. Ewing", is also "the most multifaceted liar in the world" while pretending to be nice.

But news of Nichols' suicide leads Kenzie to recall, with some guilt, a loose end from her case. Several weeks after he'd confronted the stalker, Nichols had left a message on his answering machine—and he had neglected to return her call. Stung by his former client's death, Kenzie makes a quick investigation and finds that at the time of her call, Nichols had been experiencing a suspicious run of bad luck. Her fiancé had been hit by a car and went into an irreversible coma from his injuries; she had lost her job while caring for him; and, according to the police, the pert young client Kenzie recalled as "someone who would iron her socks" had become a strung-out prostitute working from a cheap motel.

When Charly Manson returned to action he sided with Los Vipers instead of the Black Family, leading to a match at Guerra de Titanes 2002, where the Black Family defeated Manson, Histeria, Mosco de la Merced, and Psicosis II. On July 18, 2003, the Black Family won their first championship as a unit when they defeated Oscar Sevilla and Los Barrio Boys for the Atómicos title, but their run only lasted 31 days before Sevilla and Los Barrio Boys regained the titles. Chessman's run of bad luck continued as Octagón and La Parka won the Mexican National Tag Team titles from Chessman and Electroshock. The Black Family would wait over a year before they got another opportunity to hold the titles as they won them on August 20, 2004.

From the diagram above, it is seen that the new search interval will be either between x_1 and x_4 with a length of a + c, or between x_2 and x_3 with a length of b. The golden-section search requires that these intervals be equal. If they are not, a run of "bad luck" could lead to the wider interval being used many times, thus slowing down the rate of convergence. To ensure that b = a + c, the algorithm should choose x_4 = x_1 + (x_3 - x_2). However, there still remains the question of where x_2 should be placed in relation to x_1 and x_3. The golden-section search chooses the spacing between these points in such a way that these points have the same proportion of spacing as the subsequent triple x_1, x_2, x_4 or x_2, x_4, x_3.

The Canadian aircraft arrived in Townsville, along with an air movements section and a maintenance section, from their base in Trenton, Ontario, on 20 September before moving on to Darwin on 27 September. A British Royal Air Force (RAF) detachment of four C-130K Hercules arrived before 20 September, but two were withdrawn on 23 September, and a third on 1 November, reducing the RAF contingent to a lone aircraft. The RAF had a run of bad luck that included one Hercules that suffered damage to a nose wheel tyre at Dili on 20 October, and another that blew a tyre during a three-engine landing at Darwin on 21 October. In October they were joined by two Fiat G222s from the Italian Air Force, a C-130H Hercules from 601 Transport Squadron of the Royal Thai Air Force, and three Transall C-160 aircraft of the German Air Force.

Mario Andretti's run of bad luck also extends to his many attempts at Le Mans, which began with his debut, sharing a Holman & Moody Ford MKII with Lucien Bianchi, as they had been at the top 10, their car dropped a valve at 10:30 pm, causing them to retire. Further bad luck continued for the race, as he was driving, his front brake locked, causing him to crash his Holman & Moody Ford MKIV at the Esses, his teammates, Jo Schlesser and Roger McCluskey driving MKIIB GT40s attempted to avoid Andretti's GT40 and crashed, but managed to avoid his car. McCluskey managed to pull Andretti to safety, which he had to be taken to hospital.The Ford 1967 Mario would not return to the French classic until the end of his F1 career in with an enormous fanfare, partnering with son Michael in a Mirage M12 Ford.

Kirkus Reviews was disappointed that there was not more written by Tony Hillerman, the editor of this collection of short stories, than the introduction to each story. They did identify the best of the short stories as, "Marcia Muller's bittersweet memoir of a young woman's abortive homecoming, Linda Grant's reunion of a daughter with her eccentric, threatened father, Susan Dunlap's deadpan account of a loony hostage-taking in Berkeley, Ed Gorman's spare, chilling tale of a boy whose father is maddened by a run of bad luck -- typically subordinate atmosphere to the exploration of (generally troubled) family ties." And they noted the "least successful -- the undernourished whodunits by Dana Stabenow, Bill Crider, and Rex Burns, the postcard landscapes of Karen Kijewski and Bill Pronzini -- seem swallowed up by their settings; and the main interest of the tales by Carole Nelson Douglas and Stuart M. Kaminsky is to watch their tenderfoot creators pick their way gamely through the sagebrush." The concept of the regional viewpoint was considered novel.

The Holden VE Commodore of Whincup at the 2012 Clipsal 500 Adelaide Jamie Whincup and Paul Dumbrell celebrate at the 2012 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 In 2010, Triple Eight switched to Holden VE Commodores as Ford cut sponsorship.

He became close to becoming a 3-time champion, the next triple champion in a row after Mark Skaife from 2000 to 2002 and the second man to win the driver's championship in both a Ford and a Holden after Norm Beechey, but due to a multi car crash in the 25th race of the season at the Sydney Telstra 500 in wet weather his car was badly damaged and couldn't continue. In the 26th and final race of the season he was out of reach to score enough points to take back the lead from James Courtney and finished 2nd in the season.
