Today we are going to meet some people who are astoundingly lucky to have survived harrowing ordeals, these are the Top 10 Lucky People to Be Alive…
Let’s get started...
10. Bill Morgan
Bill Morgan was the victim of a horrendous trucking accident that nearly cost him his life, however even though he survived his physical injuries the ordeal immediately triggered a heart attack, Morgan was rushed to the hospital for treatment but once there he was administered a medication to which he was viciously allergic and his heart stopped. In total Morgan would go for 14 minutes without his heart beating, this is when the difficult decision was made to remove him from life support, but when they did, he started breathing on his own and went on to make a full recovery in just 12 days.
9. Edwin E. Robinson
In 1980 Edwin E. Robinson was struck by lightning and survived, now just that feat alone could possibly earn him a spot on this list but what is even more incredible is that Robinson was both hearing impaired and blind, however following the lightning strike doctors documented that both senses had returned fully.
8. Tsutomu Yamaguchi
When the United States dropped atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the course of history was forever changed, and perhaps no one knows the impact better than Tsutomu Yamaguchi. Yamaguchi was not only in Hiroshima when the bomb dropped but he was fortunate to survive and rushed home to his family in Nagasaki, only to see the second bomb fall there just 3 days later.
7. Nichiren
Nichiren was a key figure during the third age of Buddhism but he might also be one of the luckiest men in history. After taking a stand against the government, Nichiren was sentenced to be executed by a sword, however, it is said, that as the executioner hoisted the sword in the air, he was struck by lightning, fearing divine intervention, his execution was stayed and he was instead exiled to Sado Island. Perhaps Nichiren, was spared by an ancient deity, or perhaps he is just incredibly lucky to have lived.
6. Frane Selak
Frane Selak is either one of the luckiest or the unluckiest entries on today’s list. It all started when he took a train ride in 1962, tragically the train derailed and flew into a near-freezing river, miraculously he survived with just a broken arm and hypothermia. The following year he was on a flight when the door of the plane flew off yanking 20 passengers from the plane, the only survivor of which was Selak who landed in a large haystack. 3 years later in 1966 he was on a long-distance bus trip when the vehicle veered off the road and into a river, and ya...you guessed it ...he swam to safety with just a few scratches. In 1970 his car caught fire and he escaped only moments before the fuel tank exploded. Three years later a malfunction cause a different vehicle to shoot flames out of the interior vents, singing nearly all the hair off of his head. Nearly two decades later he was struck by a bus, and in 1996 his car flew over a guardrail and plummetted 300 feet into a canyon...Selak however, was ejected from the vehicle and clung to a nearby tree, sparing him the fall. So just to recap: that’s a train crash, a plane crash, a bus crash, a car explosion, a face full of flames, and he barely avoided falling 300 feet in a car. But just in case THAT wasn’t enough to prove his unbelievable luck, Selak also won the lottery in 2003.
5. Vesna Vulović
Vesna Vulović was a Serbian flight attendant who was onboard a flight departing from Copenhagen airport on January 26th, 1972, unbeknownst to the crew, the flight was to be the target of a ruthless terrorist attack. Sometime after 4 am an immensely powerful briefcase bomb tore through the plane in half - 18 lives were lost that day however against all possible odds Vulovic would survive. Upon closer investigation, it was determined that her survival boiled down to an amazing series of coincidences. When the plane initially detonated Vulovic was pinned by a food cart so she wasn’t ejected from the aircraft when it depressurized, furthermore when the portion of the fuselage that she was in reached the ground, it landed in a heavy patch of trees which effectively cushioned the landing
