Imagine walking down the street and bumping into your identical twin - a twin you never even knew you had? That’s what happened to these guys, except there were three of them. They were born identical triplets, and adopted out to seperate families as babies. 18 years later, they randomly found each other. And that’s not even the craziest part of their story...
