Being in the wrong place at the wrong time is the reason why the witch is killed by Dorothy's house in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the Wicked Witch of the East is broom sticking around Munchkinland, of which she is the unpopular ruler. At the same time, Dorothy Gale's house is riding the winds of a powerful cyclone from Kansas. The wind speeds slow as the cyclone dissipates, and thus the house gently free falls through the air until it settles on top of the witch in Munchkinland.
