No one likes having an unlucky day, but how about being unlucky yet lucky all your life? A Croatian music teacher, Frane Selak has such a life. Almost every year other year he would be involved in an accident, really unlucky. The lucky thing is he survives every single one of them and only suffer minor cuts and injuries. Here is a list of unlucky incidents happened to him, for more detail you can read here.
1962, Selak was traveling from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik by train. The train carrying Selak jumped the tracks and plunged into an icy river, killing 17 passengers.
1963, he was on a plane traveling from Zagreb to Rijeka when a door blew off the plane and he was ****ed out of the aircraft. A few minutes later the plane crashed; 19 people were killed.
1966, he was riding on a bus that went off the road and into a river. Four people were killed.
1970, he was driving along when his car suddenly caught fire. He managed to stop and get out just before the fuel tank exploded and engulfed the car in flames.
1973, a faulty fuel pump sprayed gas all over the engine of another of Selak’s car while he was driving it, blowing flames through the air vents.
1995, he was hit by a city bus in Zagreb.
1996, he was driving on a mountain road when he turned a corner and saw a truck coming straight at him. He drove the car through a guardrail, jumped out, landed in a tree - and watched his car explode 300 feet below.
However..
In June 2003, at the age of 74, Selak bought his first lottery ticket in 40 years and won more than $1 million. "I am going to enjoy my life now," he said. "I feel like I have been reborn. I know God was watching over me all these years."
What a life. He's truly the luckiest man on Earth. Oh! only to a certain extend :)
