...I forgot to mention that the date of the Macy's parade that year was the 27th and began at 9 am. She was there with her husband and son, all 3 of them. This year her son is nine. She sued the city, Macy's and the balloon maker for $395 million dollars and settled in March of 2001 for an undisclosed sum. I put no importance in the prevalence of threes and nines themselves other than that it may denote the manifestation of one of these fibonacci cycles. Sure I'd love to have even more data, such as what traumatic events happened to her, if any, in 1988, 1979 and 1970.

As an aside, the seeking of monetary compensation to improve one's life as compensation for poor health due to a freak accident, while quite understandable, may itself have set in motion certain experiences - such as this one - wherein one's health is spared but all one's material possessions are destroyed. Energy and biases always attract certain experiences and this particular case is one where these motions of energy are not only following a timetable, but making clear the nature of the woman's biases and the way nature keeps serving up lessons in balance.

Since all observable life follows cycles, and the human fetus grows following a golden mean spiral during its 9 month gestation, while our blood courses through our veins in a spiral following a Fibonacci ratio, how is it, in your scientific estimation, that human actions and experiences escape these cycles, which are recognizable patterns involving time, motion and repetition?

I find that science rarely grants exceptions to identified formulae and principles. If all energy moves from point to point following countless infinite logarithmic spirals and accompanying Fibonacci related sequences of regeneration and repetition, humanity will not be granted an exception, just because it is humanity.
