   I can think of another-when the wind changed and blew away the murk of   
   Orodruin over the Pelennor Fields-and just happened to blow the black   
   ships of Aragorn up Anduin in the process.  Without that simple thing, a   
   change of the wind, Minis Tirith falls, and maybe the whole course of   
   the story is altered.
