Coincidence, of course. But it added to the myth and to the awareness of the power of numbers.

13:13 CST, but as far as I can see, where it was launched from doesn't appear to be in the CST time zone.

Any single point-of-time event is going to have happened at 13:something in some time zone, and ~1.67% of events are going to have happened at 13:13 in some time zone.
