How can you accidentally meet your twin from Texas on a plane

Irish photographer Neil Douglas, flying on a Ryanair flight from the United States, accidentally discovered in the next seat a resident of Texas who looked exactly like himself - the same redhead and with the same beard.

It is reported that the men simply came to the delight of an unexpected meeting.

Despite the fact that they have exactly the same red beards, hairstyles and manner of smiling, citizens of Ireland and the United States found that they have no common relatives.

A friend of Douglas's wife, Wire Media director Lee Beattie from Scotland, posted a photo of the "doubles" on Twitter, indicating that the stranger from Texas is on the left. The photo instantly spread around the social network, already receiving more than 10 thousand “retweets.”

Even more surprising was that the men - also completely by accident - were seated next to each other.

“I can’t stop looking at it. Like one and the same person,” added Beatty, noting the phenomenal similarity of the young people.

Later, as the woman told the BuzzFeed edition, the adventure continued. At first it turned out that the men stayed in the same hotel in the Irish city of Galway, where Douglas was to do the wedding photography.

And then they - by accident! — we met in a pub, where, naturally, we not only drank a pint of beer, but also took another photo as a souvenir.
