2) Since there’s such a fear of the number 13 among Americans, there are many infrastructures that leave off that number. For instance, many hospitals don’t have room number 13, and there is usually not a 13th floor. In tall buildings, the 13th floor is typically skipped and some airlines don't have a Gate 13.
3) There can be more than one Friday the 13th in a year. In 2015, there were three, which is the most that can occur. There is at least one Friday the 13th per year.

Little did I know that something was brewing in Paris on this Friday the 13th. So sad.
My thoughts and prayers are still with Paris. I always wanted to go there.
Now, I'm too afraid of the terrorism that reared its ugly head in such a beautiful city.
