Coincidence or intervention? I already know your answer.

By even asking the question, you are implying that "intervention" is a possible explanation. What leads you to believe that "intervention" is even an option? Because you think that god
does intervene on occasions?
To me, taking an occurrence like this and interpreting it as evidence of the existence of god is like saying that you're going to flip a coin and every time it comes up heads that is an indication that god exists and every time it comes up tails that is an indication that god doesn't exist. You then flip the coin 100 times and pronounce, "Look! It came up heads 50 times!! Look at the evidence that god exists!" while totally ignoring the 50 times it came up tails.
I think coincidence is a more likely scenario than "some benevolent supernatural being chose to save these poor souls because he felt bad for not saving those is Myanmar and China recently".
