What would have happened if ...

1. This interesting story begins in January 2005, when John Kerry became the 44th president of the United States, after defeating George W. Bush Jr. in the elections. It is then that his vice president, Barak Obama, tells him that his electoral victory has only been possible thanks to the fact that the FBI agent, John Patrick O'Neill, and Robert Booker, of the CIA, prevented the attacks that Al Qaeda and Bin Laden prepared.  If they had listened to John Patrick O'Neill about the possible attack on the United States by Bin Laden, perhaps he and four thousand other people would not have died in the attack on the World Trade Center of September 11, 2001.

2. In September 1928, Alexander Fleming was returning from his summer vacation to his laboratory in London, where he noticed a strange culture in a Petri dish that would change the world forever.

It appears that in Fleming absence a colony of fungi sprouted and began to dissolve the bacteria growing on the plaque. The "Penicillium notatum" was analyzed, developed and purified in the following 10 years.

In 1942 it was used to treat Anne Miller, who had a fatal infection after suffering an abortion. Since then, penicillin has had multiple uses: to treat potentially fatal diseases, to prevent infections after surgery, to reduce the number of deaths and amputations in virtually all post-WWII conflicts. Saving more than 200 million lives since its invention.

That is why if Alexander Fleming had not observed the change in fungi and the decrease in bacteria, perhaps what we know today as antibiotics would not have emerged, and at that time the lives of millions of people would not have been saved.

3. Cristóbal Colón came to America in search of the riches of the East Indies and ended up causing one of the greatest massacres in history. One hundred years after the discovery of the new continent, the indigenous population fell from 60 to just six million people. Such was the scale of the deaths that it even disrupted the global climate, say the University College London researchers.

Therefore, if Cristóbal Colón had not found a faster route to the Indies, América would not have been colonized and millions of people would not have died.

Anecdote:

During all my time at the Bethlemitas school, I had always stayed in the same classroom with the same classmates, however in the year two thousand and seventeen I was transferred to another classroom where I had almost no friends.

If I hadn't been transferred to another classroom, I wouldn't have met my she's best friend.
